Sex-specific association between urinary kisspeptin and pubertal development

involves neuroendocrine changes leading to maturation of the gonads, acceleration of growth in height, and development of secondary sexual characteristics. The kisspeptin peptides, produced by small groups of neurons in the hypothalamus, play a key role in

Early expression of requisite developmental growth hormone imprinted cytochromes P450 and dependent transcription factors
Sarmistha Banerjee, Allison M Hayes, and Bernard H Shapiro
Introduction Sexual dimorphisms of some dozen or more hormone- and drug-metabolizing constituent cytochromes P450 (CYPs) observed in rats, humans, and many other species examined ( 1 ) are defined by two characteristics. (i) Following puberty
