Michelle Emblenton, biochemist at inviTRA, talks to us about the information that indicates AMH levels in men:
Although it is not routinely measured in men, AMH is a good indicator of testicular function. In particular, AMH synthesized in the satoli cells, which are important for the formation of spermatozoa. In cases of azoospermia, which is the lack of sperm in the ejaculate, AMH levels may be measured to see if sperm is being produced in the testicles, which can then later be recovered in a testicular biopsy and used for an intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, AMH levels in men aren't as good a predictor of their fertility as they are in women and FSH levels are generally studied in men to give more an indication of where the possible fertility problem may lie.
