A subgroupwas followed up longitudinally through the infantile minipuberty [(in cord blood, and at 3 and 12months), n 55] and another group through puberty [(biannual measurements), n 83].Main Outcome Measures: Serum AMH was determined by a sensitive immunoassay. Serum testosterone,LH, and FSH were measured, and pubertal staging was performed in boys aged 6 to 20yr (n 616).Results: SerumAMHwas above the detection limit in all samples with a marked variation accordingto age and pubertal status. The median AMH level in cord blood was 148 pmol/liter and increasedsignificantly to the highest observed levels at 3 months (P 0.0001). AMH declined at 12 months(P 0.0001) and remained at a relatively stable level throughout childhood until puberty, whenAMH declined progressively with adults exhibiting 3–4% of infant levels.Conclusion: Based on this extensive data set, we found detectable AMH serum levels at all ages,with the highest measured levels during infancy. At the time of puberty, AMH concentrationsdeclined and remained relatively stable throughout adulthood. The potential physiological role ofAMH and clinical applicability of AMH measurements remain to be determined. (J Clin EndocrinolMetab 95: 5357–5364, 2010)",
