Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Objective:

The role of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as an indicator of physical and reproductive health in men is unclear. We assessed the relationships between AMH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, and metabolic parameters, in a cohort of expectant fathers.

Design:

ORIGINS Project prospective cohort study. Setting: Community-dwelling men.

Participants:

Partners of pregnant women attending antenatal appointments.

Main Outcome Measures:

Serum AMH, FSH, LH, testosterone, and metabolic parameters. Results: In 485 expectant fathers, median age 33 years, median AMH was 40 pmol/L (quartiles 29, 56). AMH was inversely correlated with FSH, age, and body mass index (BMI) …

The Serum Concentrations Of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (Amh), Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (Tsh), Free Triiodothyronine (Ft3) And Free Thyroxine (Ft4) During Early Pregnancy, Kristina Hamilton

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The first trimester of pregnancy is a dynamic time of change involving the implantation and development of the fetus, together with a wide range of related endocrine changes arising from the ovary and feto-placental unit, as well as other changes in maternal and fetal physiology. The present longitudinal study has investigated two main areas of endocrinology in circulating maternal serum from positive pregnancy test to the detection of a fetal heartbeat, namely (i) AMH and (ii) thyroid function. Women attending Fertility North and conceiving during fertility investigation or treatment underwent phlebotomy twice weekly and AMH, TSH, fT3 and fT4 levels …

Two Case Studies Assessing The Effect Of Oral Contraceptive Pills Upon Serum Amh Concentrations: Results From An External Quality Assurance (Eqa) Scheme, Emily Zuvela, Melanie Walls, Phillip Matson

Research outputs 2013

Objective: To describe the effect of combined oral contraceptives (COC) on serum AMH level in 2 women.

Methods: The COC was initially stopped after over 12 years use then restarted, with the serum being analysed by 6–8 laboratories in an EQA scheme using the same assay (Beckman Coulter Gen II).

Results: In both women, the AMH rose significantly after cessation of the pill, and then dropped after resumption.

Conclusions: In summary, AMH was affected by the combined oral contraceptive pill and further studies on the effect of oral contraceptives are warranted.
