THE ROLE OF ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE IN THE PATOGENESIS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS

Abstract

Anti-Müllerian hormone is one of the most significant factors regulating woman’s reproductive function, which inhibits endogenous production of estrogens, induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and autophagy in human endometrial stromal cells. Disturbance of Anti-Müllerian hormone expression could be an important link to pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Keywords
