Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) is responsible for initiating puberty by stimulating the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. However, prior to puberty, GnRH secretion is suppressed, which delays the onset of changes associated with puberty. Androgens (A) promote the development of male secondary sex characteristics, while congenital adrenal glands (B) can result in early puberty due to the overproduction of adrenal androgens. 5-alpha (D) is involved in the development of male genitalia but does not directly delay puberty.
