Leptin has been considered a link between metabolic state and reproductive activity. Defective reproductive function can occur in leptin-deficient and leptin-excessive conditions. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of centrally injected leptin on the hypothalamic KiSS-1 system in relation to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) action in the initial stage of puberty.

Methods

Leptin (1 µg) was injected directly into...

The mechanism involved in pubertal changes has not been clearly demonstrated, but evidence has been accumulated that hormonal changes are responsible for this pubertal changes. We studied the height, weight, testicular volume, bone age, LH, FSH, and testosterone, "by Tanner stage of pubic hair development in 134 pubertal male children with no previous endocrine disease, who admitted at Yonsei University Medical...
