Popis: We examined and made hormonal measurements at 6 month intervals in 20 normal boys (M) and 15 girls (F) during a longitudinal study of puberty. Initial detectability of B- and I-LH, measured in highly sensitive assay systems, was related to chronologic (CA) and skeletal age (BA), pubertal stage and sex steroid levels. In prepuberty, the detectability of B-LH was similar in both sexes (M-27%,F-35%), but differed in I-LH (M-79%,F-40%; X2=10.026,p
