Abstract

As the chronological age increases, there is a physiological decline in reproductive
potential of women. Moreover, the chronological age of women may not reflect the
biological age of her ovaries. Various endocrine markers have been used to assess the
ovarian reserve. The changing pattern of the endocrine markers; follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2) and anti-Mullerian hormone
(AMH) with the increasing age was observed to find out which of these best correlates
with advancing reproductive age. The present study reveals that ovarian aging in
women of reproductive age may not always coincide with their chronological age and
some of the hormones may serve as distinct markers of ovarian aging.
