Premature adrenarche--normal variant or forerunner of adult disease?

Endocrine reviews - 1 Dec 2000

Ibáñez L, Dimartino-Nardi J, Potau N, Saenger P

Abstract excerpt

Adrenarche is the puberty of the adrenal gland. The descriptive term pubarche indicates the appearance of pubic hair, which may be accompanied by axillary hair. This process is considered premature if it occurs before age 8 yr in girls and 9 yr in boys. The chief hormonal product of adrenarche is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated product DHEA-S. The well documented evolution of adrenarche in primates...
