define the adrenarch?
Answers
Hi friend
How are you?
Here is your answer :-
ANSWER :-Adrenarche is an early stage in sexual maturation that happens in some higher primates and in humans typically peaks at around 10 to 14[1] years of age and is eventually involved in the development of pubic hair, body odor, skin oiliness, and acne. During adrenarche the adrenal glands secrete increased levels of weak adrenal androgens, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), and androstenedione (A4), but without increased cortisol levels. Adrenarche is the result of the development of a new zone of the adrenal cortex, the zona reticularis.[2] Adrenarche is a process related to puberty, but distinct from hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG axis) maturation and function.
I hope this answer may help you.
