The values of AMH and TT decreased significantly (P<0.05) in the C (hypothyroidism women) and D (hypothyroidism and infertility women) groups, while the values of PRL did not differences significantly among all groups. The present study demonstrates low level of AMH and TT in hypothyroidism women, while PRL show normal levels in all groups.
