Summary: This study evaluated the effect of laparoscopic cystectomy on ovarian reserve in patients with ovarian cysts. The results showed that the surgery reduced serum AMH levels and the number of cauterizations used, cyst type, and bilaterality had a significant impact on postoperative AMH levels.

Summary: This study investigated the association between ambient PM2.5, O3 pollution, and ovarian reserve in reproductive-aged Chinese women. The results showed that increased exposure to PM2.5 and O3 was associated with decreased AMH levels, indicating reduced ovarian reserve. Notably, the effects of O3 exposure on ovarian reserve were different from those of PM2.5 exposure.

Summary: This study evaluated the ovarian reserve in women with CD using AMH levels and identified age, CD activity, and thalidomide use as risk factors associated with decreased ovarian reserve. CD women have lower ovarian reserve compared to healthy women.

Summary: The study found that prenatal exposure to farm environments is associated with lower ovarian reserve biomarker concentrations in adulthood, while childhood farm exposure has weaker associations. These findings suggest that prenatal farm exposure may result in reduced ovarian reserve in adulthood.

Summary: This study investigated the association between ambient ozone and ovarian reserve in a retrospective cohort of 6008 women attending a fertility center in Hubei, China. The findings suggest that exposure to ozone is associated with decreased anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, indicating a potential adverse impact on ovarian reserve. The study also identified age, body mass index, and temperature as effect modifiers in the ozone-associated decrease in AMH levels.

Summary: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is an indirect indicator of ovarian reserve and fertility. It is used to test the number of remaining follicles. A decline in AMH suggests a decrease in follicles, while polycystic ovary syndrome patients often have elevated AMH levels. AMH varies with folliculogenesis and changes in the follicle cohort, which play a crucial role in ovarian activity throughout a woman's lifetime.

Summary: Chemical exposure among pregnant women may impact the size of ovarian reserve. Serum AMH levels, as a surrogate marker of ovarian reserve, correlates with follicular density, while certain chemicals are associated with decreased non-growing follicle densities.

Summary: The study found that inhibin B levels rapidly decrease with age in healthy reproductive age women. Inhibin B is positively correlated with AMH, AFC, and other ovarian reserve markers, and has a slightly higher predictive value for AFC compared to FSH.

Summary: Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the relationship among lifestyle, reproductive health, and fertility. Recent investigations highlight the influence of environmental and lifestyle factors such as stress, diet, and nutritional status on reproductive health. The aim of this review was to determine the influence of nutritional status on ovarian reserve in order to improve the reproductive health of women of childbearing age.

Summary: This study is the first to investigate the association of common MC4R SNPs with obesity-related parameters, revealing several SNPs that are associated with obesity indicators in Iranian adults. An interesting finding is a protective gene that helps combat obesity. Additionally, the MC4R risk score only affects BMI and waist circumference during early adulthood in the study.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the upper reference limit of prolactin (PRL) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The results showed that in PCOS women under the age of 35, the upper reference limit of serum PRL was approximately 1.5-fold higher than in controls. The elevation of PRL in PCOS might be attributed to a decline in central dopaminergic tone associated with PCOS, leading to an increase in levels of both PRL and luteinizing hormone (LH).

Summary: This study found that elevated urinary microalbumin concentration, even below the values defined as microalbuminuria, was associated with the chance of having T2DM and MetS. Additionally, the optimal cut-off points of urinary microalbumin for predicting the chance of having T2DM and MetS were determined.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the lipid profiles in women with idiopathic hirsutism (IH) compared to those of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healthy controls. The meta-analysis results showed that the levels of total cholesterol were slightly higher and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were slightly lower in women with IH compared to healthy controls. There were no significant differences in the levels of triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol between the study groups. The levels of lipid profiles were also not significantly different between women with IH and PCOS patients, except for triglyceride levels.
