Regulatory Role and Potential Importance of GDF-8 in Ovarian Reproductive Activity
Growth differentiation factor-8 (GDF-8) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. Studies in vitro and in vivo have shown GDF-8 to be involved in the physiology and pathology of ovarian reproductive functions.

Ovarian volume correlates strongly with the number of non-growing follicles in the human ovary [PDF]
A reliable indirect measure of ovarian reserve for the individual woman remains a challenge for reproductive specialists. Using descriptive statistics from a large-scale study of ovarian volumes, we have developed a normative model for healthy females ...

Evaluating the role of serum AMH in predicting suboptimal or excessive ovarian response to standard dosing regimen of ovarian stimulation in in-vitro fertilisation using GNRH agonist long protocol [PDF]
Introduction: Antral follicle count (AFC) is widely used for individualising gonadotrophin dosage in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment. This retrospective study tried to determine whether baseline serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) measurement ...

The Relationship Between Serum Delta FSH Level and Ovarian Response in IVF/ICSI Cycles
BackgroundWhen ovarian response to FSH stimulation for IVF/ICSI is unsatisfactory, the FSH dose is often adjusted in the treatment cycles, thereby assuming that hormone status and follicular development were insufficient for optimal stimulation ...
