摘要
Measurement of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is applied to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome in human. A 7-year-old female Persian cat was presented for persistent expression of behavioural oestrus. In response to examination of spines, the queen exhibited treading movements of hind legs. Trans-abdominal ultrasonography revealed a multicystic appearance of both ovaries. Oestradiol in the queen with prolonged oestrus (145 pg/ml) was higher than that in normal oestrous cats (50.8 ± 7.41 pg/ml). However, AMH concentration in the cat with prolonged oestrus (1.8 ng/ml) was within the range of AMH concentration in normal oestrous queens (3.5 ± 0.81 ng/ml; range, 1.2-5.8 ng/ml). The queen was diagnosed with cystic ovarian disease and was subjected to ovariohysterectomy. Excision and histopathology confirmed cystic ovarian disease as well as uterine hyperplasia. In conclusion, it seems that AMH could not serve as a diagnostic indicator of cystic ovarian disease in cat. © 2013 Springer-Verlag London.
