Ovarian and Uterine Morphology in Minipuberty: Associations With Reproductive Hormones: a COPANA Study of 302 Girls
Correlations between reproductive hormones and the number of antral follicles suggest that negative feedback in the female hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is established during minipuberty, with ovarian activity promoting uterine and glandular breast tissue growth. We provide normative data of infant ovarian and uterine morphology directly implementable to a clinical setting.
