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).
