Polycystic ovary syndrome mouse model by prenatal exposure to high anti-Müllerian hormone

Summary: Here, we describe a protocol that provides the steps required for the generation of a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by exposing dams to elevated levels of anti-Müllerian hormone during late gestation. This protocol also describes the steps required to assess the PCOS-like...

Description
Summary:Summary: Here, we describe a protocol that provides the steps required for the generation of a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by exposing dams to elevated levels of anti-Müllerian hormone during late gestation. This protocol also describes the steps required to assess the PCOS-like equivalents of the Rotterdam PCOS diagnostic criteria in mice.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tata et al. (2018) and Mimouni et al. (2021).
