LGR4 deficiency results in delayed puberty through impaired Wnt/β-catenin signaling
The initiation of puberty is driven by an upsurge in hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. In turn, GnRH secretion upsurge depends on the development of a complex GnRH neuroendocrine network during embryonic life. Although delayed

Psychosexual effects resulting from delayed, incomplete, or absent puberty.
Puberty is a remarkable period of postnatal development culminating in reproductive capacity. Biological changes of puberty are accompanied by social and emotional changes including psychosexual development.

Delayed and Precocious Puberty: Genetic Underpinnings and Treatments.
Delayed puberty may signify a common variation of normal development, or indicate the presence of a pathologic process. Constitutional delay of growth and puberty is a strongly familial type of developmental pattern and accounts for the vast majority of ...

Puberty is a series of physical development and sexual maturation that aims to achieved reproductive capacity. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis has an important role in the normal process of puberty.

Substance P regulates puberty onset and fertility in the female mouse [PDF]
Puberty is a tightly regulated process that leads to reproductive capacity. Kiss1 neurons are crucial in this process by stimulating GnRH, yet how Kiss1 neurons are regulated remains unknown. Substance P (SP), an important neuropeptide in pain perception,

Environmental Exposures during Puberty: Window of Breast Cancer Risk and Epigenetic Damage. [PDF]
During puberty, a woman's breasts are vulnerable to environmental damage ("window of vulnerability"). Early exposure to environmental carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and unhealthy foods (refined sugar, processed fats, food additives) are hypothesized ...

Enhanced at puberty 1 (EAP1) is a new transcriptional regulator of the female neuroendocrine reproductive axis [PDF]
The initiation of mammalian puberty and the maintenance of female reproductive cycles are events controlled by hypothalamic neurons that secrete the decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Evo-devo of human adolescence: beyond disease models of early puberty [PDF]
Despite substantial heritability in pubertal development, much variation remains to be explained, leaving room for the influence of environmental factors to adjust its phenotypic trajectory in the service of fitness goals.

Mutational analysis of DAX1 in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or pubertal delay [PDF]
Although delayed puberty is relatively common and often familial, its molecular and pathophysiologic basis is poorly understood. In contrast, the molecular mechanisms underlying some forms of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) are clearer, following the ...

Delayed Puberty in Girls with Primary Amenorrhea: A Report of Cases
Background:Female puberty starts when the pituitary hormone producing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which will stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen.
