Abstract

This study investigates circulating concentrations of AMH and inhibin B in men with azoospermia. Serum AMH and inhibin B are significantly lower in the men with nonobstructive azoospermia compared to the controls and the men with obstructive azoospermia, suggesting that these hormones could be markers of nonobstructive azoospermia.
