Sarikaya Emre , Cicek Dilek , Gok Ebru , Kara Leyla , Gul Siraz Ulku , Hatipoglu Nihal

Objectives: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by Sertoli cells in the testicles and granulosa cells in the ovaries. Increased abdominal adipose tissue initiates metabolic and endocrine disorders and predisposes to polycystic ovary syndrome. AMH is used as a marker in PCOS. A decrease in AMH levels has been reported in adults with obesity and increased central adiposity. The purpose of this study was to assess the serum AMH level and related factors...
