Inflammation and Ovarian Function in Reproductive-Aged Women.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Inflammation is a marker of immune activation. Inflammation may have an effect on both ovarian function and luteal function, both essential to pregnancy. High inflammation may also signal dysregulated processes within the ovary, which could be in part measured through Anti-Müllerian hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and inhibin B levels.

Objective

To determine the relationship between inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein, and three biomarkers of ovarian function during the early follicular phase: Anti-Müllerian hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and inhibin B.

Methods

Secondary cross-sectional analysis of data and serum obtained in Time to Conceive, a prospective cohort study sample of 843 women attempting pregnancy in central North Carol
