Abstract. The concentrations of immunoreactive C-terminal (ANH-(99-126)) and N-terminal (ANH-(1-98)) portions of pro-ANH were measured in follicular fluid and plasma samples from 9 young women undergoing in vitro fertilization. ANH-(99-126) and ANH-(1-98)-like immunoreactivity levels in plasma were 6.0–25.4 (mean 12.2) pmol/1 and 184–427 (mean 300) pmol/1, respectively, whereas the corresponding levels in follicular fluid were 3.8–8.0 (mean 4.9) pmol/1 and 169–385 (mean 262) pmol/1. The concentrations of both ANH-like peptides were consistently lower (p < 0.01) in the follicular fluid than in the matched plasma samples, but within the variation found in plasma controls. It is concluded that ANH-like peptides in the follicular fluid, whether secreted locally or derived from circulating ANH, might play a physiological role in the biosynthesis of ovarian steroid hormones or follicular maturation and fluid dynamics.
