Serum anti-M\u00fcllerian hormone (AMH), which reflects functional ovarian reserve, is decreased in women with HT and it be related to body mass.

We found a negative relationship between serum concentration of AMH and %body fat (r=-0.38,p=0.03) in women with HT. Additionally, in HT group, the relationship between serum levels of AMH and leptin was not statistically significant (r=0.01,p=0.96).
