Özet

Although hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activation and hormone levels in mini-puberty are similar to the pubertal period1, its role in human development and reproduction has not been fully elucidated2. We aimed to evaluate the effects of somatic growth and reproductive hormones on the development of external genitalia during mini-puberty
