Developmental variations in environmental influences including endocrine disruptors on pubertal timing and neuroendocrine control: Revision of human observations and mechanistic insight from rodents

Abstract: Puberty presents remarkable individual differences in timing reaching over 5 years in humans. We put emphasis on the two edges of the age distribution of pubertal signs in humans and point to an extended distribution towards earliness for initial pubertal stages and towards lateness for final pubertal stages. Such distortion of distribution is a recent phenomenon. This suggests changing environmental influences including the possible role of nutrition, stress and endocrine disruptors. Our ability to assess neu… Show more

“…As mentioned earlier, the hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal axis is functional during fetal/perinatal period, leading to the sexualization of external genitalia and specific regions of the nervous system. This activation is limited in time but offers a window of sensitivity to external factors such as endocrine disruptors (Parent et al, 2015;Hines et al, 2016).…”

“…In contrast, the poly-syalilated form of NCAM, PSA-NCAM, prevents hemophilic interactions between adjacent glial and GnRH neuronal cells. Heterophilic interactions also exist via the neuronal membrane protein contactin and the glial receptor like protein tyrosine phosphatase-b (Parent et al, 2007). These cellto-cell interactions can trigger intracellular signaling cascades that can affect both glial and neuronal activities (Viguie et al, 2001;Parkash and Kaur, 2007;Sharif et al, 2013).…”
