Cairo University Researcher Reveals New Findings on Azoospermia (Estimation of B-inhibin and anti mullerian hormone in functional azoospermia and their correlations with surgical sperm retrieval: A prospective case-control study).

A recent study conducted at Cairo University in Egypt explored the levels of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin-B in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and obstructive azoospermia (OA). The study found that inhibin-B levels were significantly lower in NOA cases compared to OA cases and controls. Additionally, there were positive correlations between AMH and inhibin-B, as well as between inhibin-B and free testosterone (FT) and weak correlation between beta inhibin and luteinizing hormone (LH). The study suggests that inhibin-B is expressed by Leydig cells and has correlations with FT and LH. [Extracted from the article]
