Changes in Sleep Patterns in Korean Early Adolescents during Sexual Maturation [PDF]
Annals of Child Neurology, 2022 Purpose Teenagers’ sleep patterns show physiological delays influenced by sexual maturation and other external time-related factors. However, Korean adolescents show differences in the onset of pubertal development and have shorter sleep durations than ...

Characterization of N6-Methyladenosine in Domesticated Yak Testes Before and After Sexual Maturity
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The potential regulatory role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prominent mRNA modification in eukaryotes, has recently been identified in mammals, plants, and yeast.

Aggregation pheromone 4-vinylanisole promotes the synchrony of sexual maturation in female locusts
bioRxiv, 2021 Reproductive synchrony generally occurs in various group-living animals; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Here, we report that aggregation pheromone, 4-vinylanisole, plays a key role in promoting sexual maturation synchrony ...

Major Transitions in Cuticular Hydrocarbon Expression Coincide with Sexual Maturity in a Blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
, 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,

Neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua): Evidence of Eya3 as an integrator of photoperiodic cues and nutritional regulation to initiate sexual maturation [PDF]
, 2021 Evidence from mammals and aves alludes to a possibly conserved seasonal photoperiod induced neuroendocrine cascade which stimulates subsequent sexual maturation however our understanding of this mechanism in teleosts is lacking.

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 ...
