Why inhibin B is tested<\/h2>\n

Inhibin B is a protein hormone produced in women by the cells of small, developing ovarian follicles, and in men by the Sertoli cells in the testes. The hormone inhibits the secretion of FSH by the pituitary gland. In women, the inhibin B level rises at the beginning of the follicular phase, is low in the luteal phase, and falls to very low values after the menopause. When measured at the beginning of the cycle, it reflects the number of follicles, which is why it is sometimes used as a supplementary measure in assessing ovarian reserve. In men, inhibin B together with FSH is a more sensitive indicator of sperm production than FSH alone. The test is also used in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain ovarian tumours.<\/p>\n
