A Testicular Leydig Cell Tumor; An Uncommon Cause of Precocious Puberty: A Case Report With Secondary Central Precocious Puberty [PDF]
Sexual precocity in boys is defined as any sign of secondary sexual characteristics present before the age of 9. Leydig cell tumors of the testes are a rare cause of peripheral precocious puberty in boys. Here, we report 8 years and 4-month-old boys with

A case of late presentation of precocious puberty due to pituitary astrocytoma
The importance of assessing precocious puberty, especially in boys, is not only due to the great complications it has for the affected patients, but also to the fatal underlying diseases. Therefore, children with central precocious puberty should first

Abstract Sexual maturation of male Atlantic salmon post‐smolts (‘jacking’) is undesired in aquaculture and seems to occur due to the intensification in modern facilities. Maturation depends on internal and external factors (temperature, photoperiod, feed availability, energy levels, body size, genetic background) that act on the brain‐pituitary‐gonad ...

Central precocious puberty, defined as the onset of puberty before the age 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys, results from a premature activation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the hypothalamus. This condition is characterised by early pubertal changes, acceleration of growth velocity, and rapid bone maturation that often result in ...

The MexMAGIC population mixes native maize varieties from across Mexico to study functional genetic diversity. Summary Defining the genetic basis of local adaptation is a key goal of evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Theory predicts that when selective pressures follow differences in the environment, a cline will be established.
