Comparative Study[Study on serum inhibin concentrations in women during menopausal transition].
To investigate the changes of serum inhibin (Inh)-A, Inh-B concentrations during menopausal transition and the time relationship between changes of serum Inh-A, Inh-B and other reproductive hormone levels. ⋯ It is suggested that serum reproductive hormones should be measured in women of menopausal transition in order to know the stage of menopausal transition and to guide the clinical management. The decrease of serum Inh-A levels during the premenstrual phase is the earliest change of menopausal transition, and decrement of day 3 Inh-B levels a marker of decreased ovarian reserve.
