Whatever, the mode of administration, kisspeptin elicits an increase of LH and FSH blood levels in normal men and women. By analogy to rodents and non-human primates, it has been speculated that the response to kisspeptin is majorated at puberty in humans, which could be...

The management of...

Brief Summary: this case-control study shows that the common genetic variants that influence pubertal timing in the general population also contribute to constitutional delay of puberty (CDP) and less significantly to normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH).CDP and IHH are two different conditions that are notoriously difficult to distinguish clinically on initial presentation. Because CDP has clear heritability traits1, and h...
