Introduction
Ovarian tissue preservation techniques have been primarily applied to post-pubertal females undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy Fertility is only one of the benefits achieved with autotransplantation of ovarian cortex Return to ovarian endocrine function is of great importance in pre-pubertal girls, who could regain their ability to undergo spontaneous puberty, in addition to preserving their bone, cardiovascular, and overall health

Introduction
In ovarian cortex transplant studies, there is massive depletion of primordial follicles during the first week after transplant. - Slow vascularization of the transplanted tissue? - Hypoxia-driven follicular damage? - Massive cellular activation with consequent apoptosis?
- Cryopreservation process itself?

Introduction
In vitro studies
Exposing ovarian cortex tissue to increasing in vitro
concentrations of AMH caused downregulation of AMH
production and decreased sensitivity to FSH and LH by
downregulation of their receptors.
Inhibitory role on follicular development

Introduction
In vitro studies
Exposing ovarian cortex tissue to increasing in vitro
concentrations of rAMH caused downregulation of GDF9
and of stemness markers such as Oct-4, Sox2, and
NANOG, while upregulating VEGF.

Introduction
In vivo studies AMH stalled tissue activation by downregulating GDF9 and stemness markers, Oct-4, Sox2, NANOG, thus regulating ovarian tissue regenerative potential. AMH-treated mice preserved their reservoir of primordial follicles during administration of chemotherapeutic agents such as carboplatin, doxorubicin, or cyclophosphamide

Can AMH have a role in preventing post-transplant follicular depletion in pre-pubertal ovarian cortex?
Hypothesis
AMH inhibits post-transplant follicular activation thus protecting the primordial follicle reservoir

Summary and Conclusions
• The vitrification-warming process caused a non-significant decrease in PDF in pre-pubertal ovarian cortex.
• rAMH in the peri-transplant period did not preserve the primordial follicle number.
• rAMH in the peri-transplant period prevented follicular activation to PRF and SEF, and post-transplant premature depletion.
• rAMH in the peri-transplant period decreased apoptosis and cellular activation.
AMH could be used as a ‘protectant’ of the ovarian cortex during the peri-transplant period.
