    in primordial and transitional follicles in ovaries from anovulatory women with polycystic ovaries
    constitutional     --over  
    high AMH levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome may contribute to their aberrant follicle selection

    lower in the SRY-negative XX testes than in XY testes
