    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive biology
    • Endocrinology
    • Developmental biology

    Background:

    • Müllerian duct regression in male fetuses is crucial for male sexual development.
    • This regression is mediated by a specific fetal testicular hormone, distinct from testosterone.
    • Sertoli cells synthesize this hormone, known as Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the biochemical nature of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH).
    • To characterize the properties of the hormone responsible for Müllerian duct regression.

    Main Methods:

    • Incubation of calf fetal testes to collect testicular secretions.
    • Biochemical analysis including dialysis, ultrafiltration, and gel filtration (Sephadex G 200, Biogel A-5m).
    • Assessment of anti-Müllerian activity in the collected media.

    Main Results:

    • AMH secretion begins early in testicular development and continues into the perinatal period.
    • Müllerian duct responsiveness to AMH is limited to a critical developmental window.
    • AMH is a high molecular weight protein (200,000–320,000 daltons), not affected by dialysis, and its activity is independent of testosterone levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides biochemical characterization of AMH, identifying it as a large protein molecule.
    • AMH is a key hormone in male sexual differentiation, acting independently of testosterone.
    • Further research into AMH's molecular properties is warranted for understanding reproductive development.
