Abstract
Ovarian aging is becoming a more important issue in terms of fertility preservation and infertility treatment. Serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count (AFC) are being practically used as markers of ovarian aging as well as ovarian reserve in human. However, these factors have some drawbacks in assessing ovarian aging and reserve. Therefore, the identification of ovarian expressions of BMP15, GDF9, and C-KIT according to female could be applied as a potent predictor of ovarian aging. This work provides new information on the development of diagnosis and treatment strategy of age-related fertility decline and premature ovarian insufficiency.
