Abstract:
The activation of the hypothalamus-pituitarygonadal
(HPG) axis during the first months both in males(M) and
females(F) is named as minipuberty. Urinary gonadotropins
(uGn) represent an unexpensive and non-invasive method of
assessing pubertal development and they have recently been used also for studying minipuberty.
Aims of this study are: 1) to describe the urinary hormonal pattern
(uLH, uFSH, testosterone – uT, oestradiol-uE) during minipuberty
in a group of healthy full-term infants. 2) to identify the relationship between urinary hormone levels and environmental
factors, anthropometric measurements, anogenital distances
(AGD).
