Sexual dimorphism in cortisol metabolism throughout pubertal development:a longitudinal study
OBJECTIVE: Sex differences in disease susceptibility might be explained by sexual dimorphism in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, which has been postulated to emerge during puberty. However, studies conducted thus far lacked an assessment of Tanner pubertal stage.
