7.3. Sex-independent timing of the onset of central puberty revealed by nocturnal luteinizing hormone concentrations

A Demir , M Hero , A Juul , KM Main

Brief Summary: this longitudinal study found no statistical difference between boys and girls regarding the timing of increase in nocturnal luteinizing hormone concentrations.Puberty results from a gradual increase in GnRH secretion, that can be monitored by urinary gonadotropin measurements. Timing of normal puberty, initially described by Marshal and Tanner, is characterized by an important individual variability in humans1,2. The difference...

Clinical Endocrinology. 2022; 96:220–226. PMID: 34596269Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of testosterone and aromatase inhibitor treatment on anthropometric measures, and their correlation with estradiol and testosterone serum levels in boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP), to elucidate the respective roles of the two sex steroid hormones on growth during puberty. The results sugge...

Yes, but it is a newish cilopathy gene in the hedgehog pathway. Hedgehog family of polypeptides (Sonic (Shh), Indian (Ihh) and desert (Dhh) hedgehog) are signaling molecules that are needed for many cellular events and pl...

Brief Summary: This study suggests that excessive interferon-γ–mediated responses have a pathogenic role in APS-1 and provides the foundation for therapies that affect interferon-γ–mediated disease.Commentary: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), also known as autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidiasis, and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), is an autosomal recessive multiorgan syndrome caused by loss-of-function variants in ...
