The AMH inhibits factors affecting FSH sensitivity. As AMH levels decrease with follicle growth, this inhibition would be removed. The AMH overproduction in anovulatory polycystic ovaries (PCO) may therefore restrict folliculogenesis by an inhibitory effect on FSH sensitivity, thereby contributing to anovulation. |
