Objective: To evaluate Inhibin B in women with premature ovarian failure POF and its role as a marker for ovarian reserve in comparison to FSH.
Methodology: This study was conducted in the infertility center in Basra Maternity and Child Hospital. About 75 women were divided into 3 groups, each of 25 women, group (A) with premature ovarian failure, Group (B) menopause women and group (C) normally fertile cycling women. Inhibin B and FSH were measured and comparison were made between the three groups, then Inhibin B and FSH level were studied in group (A) before and after (4-6 months) of hormonal replacement therapy.
Results: The mean FSH was (81.4 ± 28.4 IU/ml) in group A, (97.7 ± 25.5 IU/ml) in group B and (4.87 ± 2.3 IU/ml) in group C. Inhibin B was (1.8 ± 2.8 pg/ml) in group A, (1 ± 0.9 pg/ml) in group B and (53.1 ± 17.1 pg/ml) in group C. A.. View More»
