Anti-Müllerian hormone concentration and scrotal circumference as predictors of fertility-linked characteristics in male Brahman and Simmental bulls [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de ZootecniaThis study investigates whether pre-pubertal scrotal circumference (SC) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations indicate sexual precocity in Brahman and Simmental bulls. Fifty-three bulls (Brahman, n = 27; Simmental, n = 26) were used.

Comparison among three approaches for evaluation of sexual precocity in Nellore cattle
Animal, 2007 Restricted breeding seasons used in beef cattle produce censored data for reproduction traits measured in regard to these seasons. To analyze these data, adequate methods must be used. The objective of this paper was to compare three approaches aiming to

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.We identified 45% HFD as the optimal formulation to establish a juvenile rat model of obesity‐related precocious puberty. It elicits robust phenotypic (early vaginal opening, obesity), histological (advanced ovarian development), and endocrine (elevated HPG axis hormones) alterations, with leptin‐mediated GnRH secretion as a core mechanistic driver ...
