Longevity and sexual maturity vary across species with number of cortical neurons, and humans are no exception

Sexual Maturation in the Bull

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2008
ContentsIn this review, we describe the process of sexual maturation in the bull calf. The testes of the bull grow relatively slowly until approximately 25 weeks of age and then a rapid phase of growth occurs until puberty, at 37–50 weeks of age. During the early postnatal phase of slower growth of the testis pre‐spermatogonia and some spermatogonia ...

Premature sexual maturation

2011
Abstract Premature sexual maturation is a frequent cause for referral in paediatric endocrinology. Although clinical evaluation will suffice to reassure the patient and family in a majority of cases, premature sexual maturation can reveal severe conditions and need a thorough evaluation to identify its cause and potential for progression,
