title: [Luteal and follicular phase inhibin A and B in regularly cycling women].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the level of inhibin A nad B in luteal and follicular phase in women of reproductive age.
  
  
  METHODS
  Seventy women 39-52 years of age with regular menstrual cycle.
  
  
  METHODS
  Blood samples obtained on days 3-8 and on days 22-25 of menstrual cycle were assayed for FSH, estradiol, inhibin A, inhibin B.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Luteal and follicular phase inhibin B was correlated inversely with age. Luteal phase inhibin A was correlated inversely with follicular phase FSH.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Main form of inhibin in follicular phase of the cycle is inhibin B and in luteal phase inhibin A. Inhibin B can be potential marker of ovarian aging.
