Anti-Müllerian hormone concentration is not dependent on the menstrual cycle.
Is it true that Anti-Müllerian hormone concentration is not dependent on the menstrual cycle?
Partly. Whether anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration remains stable throughout the menstrual cycle is contested, with some studies reporting no significant fluctuation and others documenting statistically significant intra- or inter-cycle variations.
Verdict: CONTESTED · 2 sources for, 2 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature contains conflicting evidence regarding AMH stability across the menstrual cycle. While earlier and some cross-sectional data suggest serum AMH levels do not vary significantly or remain stable enough not to require cycle-timed measurements, more recent prospective cohorts and larger studies indicate statistically significant biological variability across cycles. Given these conflicting findings in the literature, the claim is best classified as contested.
