melatonin and Puberty, Precocious

melatonin has been researched along with Puberty, Precocious in 20 studies

Puberty, Precocious: Development of SEXUAL MATURATION in boys and girls at a chronological age that is 2.5 standard deviations below the mean age at onset of PUBERTY in the population. This early maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis results in sexual precocity, elevated serum levels of GONADOTROPINS and GONADAL STEROID HORMONES such as ESTRADIOL and TESTOSTERONE.

"The melatonin plasma levels were low for the chronological age but appropriate for the pubertal status, making a causal relationship between lowered melatonin plasma levels and precocious puberty possible."5.29Precocious puberty and decreased melatonin secretion due to a hypothalamic hamartoma. ( Commentz, JC; Helmke, K, 1995)
"Subsequently, progressing precocious puberty was arrested with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analog therapy."3.01Central precocious puberty secondary to peripheral precocious puberty due to a pineal germ cell tumor: a case and review of literature. ( Chen, H; Mo, CY; Zhong, LY, 2023)
"The melatonin plasma levels were low for the chronological age but appropriate for the pubertal status, making a causal relationship between lowered melatonin plasma levels and precocious puberty possible."1.29Precocious puberty and decreased melatonin secretion due to a hypothalamic hamartoma. ( Commentz, JC; Helmke, K, 1995)
"Girls with central precocious puberty were utilized as a model in which to study the melatonin secretory response to ovarian suppression."1.28Nocturnal melatonin levels are unaltered by ovarian suppression in girls with central precocious puberty. ( Berga, SL; Jones, KL; Kaufmann, S; Yen, SS, 1989)
"Rarely, hydrocephalus may trigger true precocious puberty, a syndrome easily differentiated from pseudoprecocious puberty by endocrinologic tests."1.27Neuroendocrine aspects of pineal tumors. ( Fetell, MR; Stein, BM, 1986)
