Anti-Müllerian hormone - (pronounced) (AN-tee-myoo-LAYR-ee-un HOR-mone) hormone produced in the ovaries in women and in the testicles in men. The anti-Müllerian hormone helps in the formation of the male and female reproductive organs. It also helps control other hormones that act on the ovaries to help the follicles and eggs grow during a woman's menstrual cycle. Measuring the amount of anti-Müllerian hormone in the blood can help diagnose infertility and other conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, menopause, and certain types of ovarian tumors. It can also help determine the sex of an infant if the gender is not clear. Also called AMH
