[Clinical applications of anti-Müllerian hormone in evaluating ovarian reserve functions].

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily and mainly expressed by the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles. In women AMH is only expressed in ovarian follicles and therefore can be used for the evaluation of the ovarian reserve function and the prediction of ovary ageing and ovarian response during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. This article summarizes the clinical application of AMH, especially in evaluating ovarian reserve functions.
