Abstract: AMH is a gonadospecific hormone that is a member of the Transforming Growth Factor-ß super family and its molecular weight is140 killo Dalton. All growing follicles in animals exhibit anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) expression; however the level is highest in healthy antral follicle. AMH is a reliable endocrine marker and plasma AMH concentrations are unique to individual animals. Throughout the prepubertal age, the oestrous cycle, and the transition from the gestation to the postpartum period in the cow, plasma AMH concentrations follow certain dynamic patterns. These variations most likely reflect numerical changes in the population of high AMH generating follicles. AMH can also be used for a diagnosis of Sertoli cell tumors and in female dogs used as a potential predictor of litter size. Follicle-stimulating hormone decreased granulosa cell AMH production whereas bone morphogenetic proteins increased it. The expression of AMH in the follicle at the follicular level was influenced by the stage of follicular development. The amount of tiny antral developing follicles in an ovary's pool impacted how much AMH was produced there.
