The proportion of cleaved anti-Müllerian hormone is higher in serum but not follicular fluid of obese women independently of polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract

The proportion of inactive form of AMH in the serum is higher in normal weight versus obese women but not in the follicular fluid, independently of PCOS. The conversion of proAMH into the cleaved isoform is likely to occur in extra-ovarian tissues and to exacerbate in obese individuals.
