CENTRAL PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY by Farkhutdinova L. M.

“…Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues are used for the treatment of central precocious puberty, the continuous injection of which blocks receptors on gonadotropic cells of the pituitary gland, which causes a decrease in the secretion of gonadotropins and, accordingly, sex steroids. Regress of secondary sexual characteristics is observed after 3 months of therapy, decreasein the rate of growth to normal values after 1-1,5 years, decrease in the ratio of bone age to chronological, which improves the growth forecast — by the end of the 3rd year of treatment. …”
