Anti-Müllerian hormone levels in nurses who work night shifts

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Analysis of 1,537 blood samples revealed no associations between night shift work and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels.

  • Recent night shift work showed a median difference in AMH of 0.3 ng/mL for those with five or more shifts compared to none.
  • Years of rotating night shift work did not show a significant difference in AMH, with a median difference of -0.1 ng/mL for those with six or more years versus none.
  • The absence of associations between night shift work and AMH levels may not exclude potential effects on fertility through different biological pathways.
