Urinary Estrogens in Girls Throughout Puberty as a Marker of Metabolic Risk and Their Relationship With Premature Adrenarche
Our investigation suggests that metabolic risk in patients without biochemical PA are mostly associated with estrone levels. In contrast, in patients with biochemical PA, androgens are associated with MetS. Therefore, metabolic disturbances throughout puberty might be generated by different pathways in girls with and without biochemical PA.
