Pubertal growth and epiphyseal fusion [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2015 The complex networks of nutritional, cellular, paracrine, and endocrine factors are closely related with pubertal growth and epiphyseal fusion. Important influencing factors include chondrocyte differentiation capacity, multiple molecular pathways active

Timing of the Pubertal Growth Spurt and Prostate Cancer. [PDF]
Cancers (Basel), 2021 Previous studies of pubertal timing and the risk of prostate cancer have used self-reported markers of pubertal development, recalled in mid-life, and the results have been inconclusive. Our aim was to evaluate the age at the pubertal growth spurt, an objective marker of pubertal timing, and the risk of prostate cancer and high-risk prostate cancer ...

Pubertal Growth Assessment [PDF]
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2003 Almost all available sets of height growth reference values are constructed in a cross-sectional manner, except for a few studies in which longitudinal sampling was used. Such reference values are, however, flawed because of considerable individual variation in the timing of puberty, especially among children with early or late pubertal maturation.

Pubertal growth in diabetics. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1985 Mean values for two variables of the pubertal growth spurt, peak height velocity and age at peak velocity, of children attending the diabetic clinic in Bristol are reported. The growth spurt was normal both in timing and intensity in boys, but the peak velocity was reduced and age at peak velocity more variable among girls.

Pubertal Changes in Biochemical Markers of Growth [PDF]
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2003 Puberty is a crucial period of life during which dramatic hormonal changes induce notable modifications in linear growth, bone mass and body composition. These changes are associated with variations in some biochemical parameters such as markers of bone turnover and leptin, which may reflect changes in bone growth and fat mass, respectively.

Impact of Pre-pubertal Growth Rate on Pubertal Characteristics of Sohagi Ewe Lambs [PDF]
Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2021 This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-pubertal growth rate on pubertal characteristics of Sohagi ewe lambs. Thirty of Sohagi ewes lambs at 6-7 months of age were divided into three equal groups (n=10 per each group) according to its previous ...

Role of obesity and leptin in the pubertal process and pubertal growth—a review [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity, 2003 The prevalence of obesity is increasing alarmingly to epidemic proportions in children and adolescents, especially in industrialized countries. The finding that overweight children, especially girls, tend to mature earlier than lean children has led to the hypothesis that the degree of body fatness may trigger the neuroendocrine events that lead to the

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Early Puberty in Girls
Children, 2021 In recent decades, pubertal onset in girls has been considered to occur at an earlier age than previously. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been associated with alterations in pubertal timing, with several reports suggesting that ...
