The role of insulin-like growth factor-1 in the initiation of female puberty /

In several species, including humans, peripheral insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels increase during puberty; hence, suggesting this peptide plays an important role in events leading to sexual maturation. Because IGF71 elicits LHRH release from the median eminence (ME) of immature female ra...
