This review provides updated information relating to the timing of pubertal onset from a large study of girls seen in pediatric practices. In addition, new studies investigating the relationship of the hormone leptin to the onset of puberty are discussed, as well as new information on the neuroendocrine control of pubertal regulation.

Leptin and Pubertal Development

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2002
Sexual development after birth in rodents, nonhuman primates, and humans is driven by the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator. During the neonatal period in primates, pulsatile GnRH discharge from the medial basal hypothalamus drives an active period of pituitary gonadotropin and gonadal hormone secretion.

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2004
The inhibin B pubertal surge is a prominent signal of gonadal maturation in females as well as in males. In boys, it denotes the final functional maturation of Sertoli cells, which is accompanied by a progressive suppression of antimüllerian hormone production.

Racial Disparities in Pubertal Development

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2013
The question of whether or not children, particularly girls, are entering puberty earlier than they did in the past has been a concern in both the medical community and the general population. A secular trend analysis of the current data on pubertal timing in boys and girls is limited by variations in the study design, the population assessed, and the ...
