As minipigs are being used increasingly in toxicity studies, we reviewed published data on the age of sexual maturity in the minipig. Maturity in females was assessed on the basis either of normal cycles of progesterone secretion or of the histological presence ...

Sexual maturation and the adrenal glands [PDF]
Reproduction, 1978 It is a definite possibility that organs which are primarily elements of functional systems other than the reproductive system are involved in sexual maturation. The adrenal glands are attractive candidates for such a role in sexual maturation: they are capable of producing androgens, oestrogens and progesterone, not only in the adult, but also in the ...
