| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is originally discovered as an inducer of regression of Mullerian ducts in male fetus. On the other hand, AMH may act as an inhibitory mediator of Mullerian duct derived female tissue, such as endometrium. We investigated spatio-temporal expression of specific AMH receptor (AMHIIR). In endometrial glandular cells, AMHIIR is more strongly expressed in basal layer that functional layer of endometrium. Stromal AMHIIR expression is higher in functional layer. In functional layer, strong AMHIIR expression is localized at superficial part of endometrium. AMHIIR expression is higher in secretary phase than in proliferative phase. We found positive correlation between serum and intra-peritoneal AMH levels, and it significantly differ according to women's age, severity of ovulatory disorders. AMH levels are significantly lower in women with endometriosis. AMH may have roles in fictional modulations of human endometrium via its specific receptor AMHIIR.
