Androgen and estrogen secretory dynamics in longitudinally followed moderately and late preterm infant girls
In girls born moderately to late preterm, DHT, estradiol, and testosterone show a postnatal activity with synchronized surges for DHT and testosterone, while estradiol is secreted with an individual dynamic. Androstenedione and estrone show no surge during infancy. Degree of prematurity but not birth weight influences sex steroid secretion.
