Effect of anti-mullerian hormone on the development and selection of ovarian follicle in hens.

ABSTRACT: To elucidate the role of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) in regulating the development of ovarian follicles in laying hens, the expressions of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), AMH receptor type 2 (AMHR2), steroidogenic-related genes steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR), cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage (CYP11A1), and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD3B1) genes were measured from different sized follicles and granulosa cells. The results showed that the expressions of FSHR and AMHR2 genes were higher in small follicles and decreased after follicular selection. Oppositely, the expressions of STAR, CYP11A1, and HSD3B1 were significantly increased after follicular selection. It indicated that AMHR2 might mediate AMH suppression in the stimulating effects of follicle-st
