小青春期,两性下丘脑-垂体-性腺(HPG)轴短暂激活的时期,可以评估怀疑性腺功能减退的婴儿的性腺功能。然而,女性小青春期仍然不清楚。
我们旨在为最常用的生殖激素建立连续的参考范围,并评估0至1岁女性的HPG轴动态。
哥本哈根小青春期研究(ClinicalTrials.govID:NCT02784184),纵向,前瞻性队列研究。
来自哥本哈根的健康婴儿。
共98人健康,足月女婴在出生后的第一年进行了6次检查,包括静脉穿刺。
无。
血清LH浓度,FSH,抑制素B,抗苗勒管激素(AMH),雌酮(E1),雌二醇(E2),和SHBG在266份血清样本中使用高度敏感的方法进行定量。
确定了LH的参考范围,FSH,抑制素B,AMH,E1、E2和SHBG。在所有激素的归一化平均曲线中观察到两个峰。第一个高峰时间定在出生后第15至27天,然后是所有激素的一般最低点,大约在第58至92天。抑制素B的第二个高峰出现在第107到125天左右,AMH,LH和FSH的E1、E2和SHBG以及第164至165天。
我们现在与年龄有关,最常用生殖激素的连续参考范围,并提供新颖的数据,揭示了双相和延长的女性青春期。

Minipuberty, a period of a transient activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in both sexes, enables evaluation of gonadal function in infants suspected of hypogonadism. However, female
minipuberty remains poorly elucidated.
We aimed to establish continuous reference ranges for the most commonly used reproductive hormones and to evaluate the dynamics of the HPG axis in females aged 0 to 1 year.
The COPENHAGEN
Minipuberty Study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02784184), a longitudinal, prospective cohort
study.
Healthy infants from Copenhagen.
A total of 98 healthy, term female infants followed with 6 examinations including venipuncture during the first year of life.
None.
Serum concentrations of LH, FSH, inhibin B, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and SHBG were quantified using highly sensitive methods in 266 serum samples.
Reference ranges were established for LH, FSH, inhibin B, AMH, E1, E2, and SHBG. Two peaks were observed in normalized mean curves for all hormones. The first peaks were timed around postnatal days 15 to 27 followed by a general nadir for all hormones around days 58 to 92. The second peaks occurred around days 107 to 125 for inhibin B, AMH, E1, E2, and SHBG and days 164 to 165 for LH and FSH.
We present age-related, continuous reference ranges of the most commonly used reproductive hormones and present novel data revealing a biphasic and prolonged female
minipuberty.
