Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2016 Background: Sexual maturation is an important milestone which starts between 8 and 14 years in girls. However, varying ages of onset of sexual maturation have been reported in different environments, with more recent studies showing earlier ages of onset

Body-fat sensor triggers ribosome maturation in the steroidogenic gland to initiate sexual maturation in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2021 Fat stores are critical for reproductive success and may govern maturation initiation. Here, we report that signaling and sensing fat sufficiency for sexual maturation commitment requires the lipid carrier apolipophorin in fat cells and Sema1a in the ...

Development of rat female genital cortex and control of female puberty by sexual touch. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Rat somatosensory cortex contains a large sexually monomorphic genital representation. Genital cortex undergoes an unusual 2-fold expansion during puberty. Here, we investigate genital cortex development and female rat sexual maturation.

Temporal progression in migratory status and sexual maturation in European silver eels during downstream migration [PDF]
, 2011 The onset of downstream migration of European eels is accompanied by a cessation of feeding and the start of sexual maturation which stresses the link between metabolism and sexual maturation, also suggesting an important role for exercise.

Sex differences in age‐to‐maturation relate to sexual selection and adult sex ratios in birds
Evolution Letters, 2020 Maturation (the age when organisms are physiologically capable of breeding) is one of the major life history traits that have pervasive implications for reproductive strategies, fitness, and population growth.

Influence of sexual maturation on cardiorespiratory fitness in school children [PDF]
, 2014 Levels of aerobic fitness of children and adolescents are declining worldwide, which results in increased health risks. In Brazil, approximately 60% of the students present levels of fitness lower than recommended for age and sex.

, 2020 In many animals, there is a prolonged pre-reproductive period prior to sexual maturity. To avoid premature mating attempts, it is common for phenotypic changes to occur during this period that signal the onset of reproductive viability. Among the insects,
