Dynamics of FSH-induced follicular growth in subfertile women: relationship with age, insulin resistance, oocyte yield and anti-Mullerian hormone

Abstract

Age showed little impact on the initial follicular cohort, but a significant impact upon the secondary cohort, while insulin resistance appeared to promote the former category alone. The disturbance to follicular dynamics and AMH in IR-PCOS reflected a larger stockpile of FSH-sensitive follicles. Circulating AMH appears to represent all categories of antral follicles observed.
