[Diagnostic utility of the anti-Mullerian hormone in companion animals]. / Diagnostischer Nutzen des Anti-Müller-Hormons in der Kleintierpraxis.

ABSTRACT

The anti-Mullerian hormone is a glycoprotein secreted by Sertoli cells in males and granulosa cells in females. The initial identification of this hormone in canine and feline serum was achieved in 2011. Meanwhile, a variety of studies have demonstrated its clinical significance as a tool in the endocrine diagnosis. This review summarizes the current knowledge about anti-Mullerian hormone in small animal reproduction and describes future opportunities for its diagnostic usage.
