▼ Both environmental and genetic factors can affect female puberty and reproduction. In Chapter 1, these factors with focuses on one environmental factor, genistein, and one genetic factor, olfactomedin 1 (OLFM1) are reviewed. In Chapter 2, the effects of postweaning dietary genistein exposure on female puberty and early pregnancy in C57BL/6J mice are studied. Dose-response study reveals that genistein diets (5-500 ppm) have dose-dependent effects on advancing age at vaginal opening, increasing duration of estrus stage, and accelerating mammary gland development; 5 ppm genistein diet promotes ovulation. Despite the effects on female puberty, postweaning dietary genistein exposure does not have significant effects on early pregnancy. In Chapter 3, the influence of body fat on the effects of genistein on female pubertal development is studied. Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy 2 (Bscl2)-/- female mice with lipodystropy are used as a low body fat animal model. Postweaning 500 ppm genistein dietary exposure advances vaginal opening and increases mammary gland area in Bscl2-/- females. In Chapter 4, the function and mechanism of OLFM1 on female puberty and fertility using Olfm1-/- mouse model are investigated. Olfm1-/- females have delayed pubertal development and impaired fertility. Rescued ovulation and fertility by superovulation, normal basal Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, and normal Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) induced LH surge indicate a functional Hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. High expression level of OLFM1 in the olfactory systems, unresponsiveness to male bedding stimulation on estrous cycle and pubertal development in Olfm1-/- females coupled with a 41% reduction of cFOS positive cells in mitral layer of accessory olfactory bulb indicate that the function of OLFM1 in olfaction contributes to the defective pubertal development and fertility in Olfm1-/- female mice. In Chapter 5, the dissertation and future directions of study are summarized. Advisors/Committee Members: Xiaoqin Ye.

▼ Increased pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) is critical for pubertal initiation of ovarian cycles in female mammals. Kisspeptin, a peptide product of the Kiss1 gene, is required for normal puberty. In Experiment 1, ovariectomized ewe lambs bearing subcutaneous estradiol implants were used to investigate Kiss1 gene expression in the preoptic area (POA) and hypothalamus during pubertal maturation of the reproductive neuroendocrine system. Brain tissue was collected from ewes at 25, 30, and 35 wk of age (n=6/group). Patterns of LH release in circulation were determined on the day before euthanasia and cells containing Kiss1-mRNA were identified by in situ hybridization. Mean concentrations of LH and the frequency of LH pulses increased (P < 0.01) as ewe lambs matured. In the POA/Periventricular area (PEV), the number of Kiss1-expressing cells was greater (P < 0.04) in 30- and 35-wk-old than in 25-wk-old ewe lambs. In the arcuate nucleus (ARC), although no significant changes in number Kiss1-expressing cells were observed among age groups, the number of Kiss1 cells increased (P < 0.02) with increased frequency of LH release. This resulted in greater (P < 0.01) number of Kiss1 cells in the ARC of ewes demonstrating elevated frequency (> 6 pulses/12 h) of LH pulses. In Experiment 2, 28-wk-old ewe lambs were used to determine the effects of intermittent injections of kisspeptin on the release of LH and stimulation of gonadal function in peripubertal ewe lambs. Ewe lambs were treated intravenously with saline (Controls; n=6) or kisspeptin (n=6) hourly for 24 h. Blood samples were collected throughout the experiment for hormone analysis. Kisspeptin-treated lambs had greater (P < 0.02) mean circulating concentrations of LH, and frequency and amplitude of LH pulses than controls. Four of six kisspeptin-treated ewe lambs exhibited LH surge and luteal activity in response to treatments. However, onset of regular estrous cycles was not established immediately following kisspeptin-induced ovulation and no difference in age at onset of puberty was observed between groups. In conclusion, activation of the hypothalamic kisspeptin system may support elevated episodic release of LH critical for establishment of normal estrous cycle during pubertal development.

▼ The genetic control of puberty remains an important but mostly unanswered question. Late pubertal timing affects over 2% of adolescents and is associated with adverse health outcomes. Self-limited delayed puberty (DP) segregates in an autosomal dominant pattern and is highly heritable; however, its neuroendocrine pathophysiology and genetic regulation remain unclear. The genetic control of puberty remains an important but mostly unanswered question. Late pubertal timing affects over 2% of adolescents and is associated with adverse health outcomes. Self-limited delayed puberty (DP) segregates in an autosomal dominant pattern and is highly heritable; however, its neuroendocrine pathophysiology and genetic regulation remain unclear. Our large, accurately phenotyped cohort of patients with familial self-limited DP is a unique resource with a relatively homogeneous genetic composition. I have utilised this cohort to investigate the genetic variants segregating with the DP trait in these pedigrees. Whole exome sequencing in eighteen probands and their relatives, and subsequent targeted sequencing in an extended subgroup of the cohort, has revealed potential novel genetic regulators of pubertal timing. In ten unrelated probands, I identified rare mutations in IGSF10, a gene that is strongly expressed in the nasal mesenchyme during embryonic migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. IGSF10 knockdown both in vitro and in a transgenic zebrafish model resulted in perturbed GnRH neuronal migration. Loss-of-function mutations in IGSF10 were also identified in five patients with absent puberty due to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). Additionally, I have identified and investigated one rare, pathogenic mutation in HS6ST1 - a gene known to cause HH - in one family with DP, and two rare variants in FTO - a gene implicated in the timing of menarche in the general population - in 3 families. Further potentially pathogenic variants have emerged from investigating candidate genes identified from microarray studies (LGR4, SEMA6A and NEGR1) and from related clinical phenotypes (IGSF1).

▼ Manganese (Mn) is considered important for normal growth and reproduction. Because Mn can cross the blood brain barrier and accumulate in the hypothalamus, and because it has been suggested that infants and children are potentially more sensitive to Mn than adults, we wanted to determine the effects of Mn exposure on puberty-related hormones and the onset of puberty, and discern the site and mechanism of Mn action. We demonstrated that the central administration of manganese chloride (MnCl2) stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) release in prepubertal rats. Incubation of medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) in vitro showed this effect was due to a Mn-induced stimulation of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH). Further demonstration that this is a hypothalamic site of action was shown by in vivo blockade of LHRH receptors and the lack of a direct pituitary action of Mn to stimulate LH release in vitro. Chronic supplementation of low dose of MnCl2 caused elevated serum levels of LH, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol or testosterone. Importantly, Mn supplementation advanced the timing of puberty in both sexes. We investigated the mechanism by which Mn induces LHRH/LH release from the hypothalamus. Blocking the NMDA receptor, IGF1 receptor, or inhibiting nitric oxide synthase in vivo was ineffective in altering Mn-induced LH release. Dose-response, pharmacological blockade and nitrite assessments indicated that the lowest doses of Mn used stimulated LHRH release, but did not induce nitric oxide (NO) production, while only the highest dose of Mn stimulated NO. Conversely, a dose-dependent inhibition of Mn-induced LHRH release was observed in the presence of ODQ, a specific blocker of soluble guanylyl cyclase. Furthermore, Mn stimulated the release of cyclic GMP (cGMP) and LHRH from the same MBH, and a protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, KT5823, blocked Mn-induced LHRH release. Collectively, these data demonstrate that Mn can stimulate specific puberty-related hormones both acutely and chronically, and furthermore, suggest that low levels of Mn facilitate the normal onset of puberty. The principal action of Mn within the hypothalamus is to facilitate the activation of guanylyl cyclase, which subsequently stimulates the cGMP/PKG pathway resulting in the stimulation of prepubertal LHRH secretion.

▼ The pubertal initiation of a high-frequency, pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) involves an escape from estradiol negative feedback. Kisspeptin neurons are proposed to mediate the effects of estradiol, and estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) may play a role in this process. The present study investigated the hypothesis that reduced ESR1 expression in kisspeptin neurons is associated with decreased sensitivity to estradiol negative feedback that underlies reproductive maturation. Ewe lambs were ovariectomized at approximately 24 wk of age and received no implant (OVX; n=7) or received a subcutaneous implant containing estradiol (OVX+E; n=14). At 30 wk of age, blood samples were collected to characterize the pattern of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Lambs were then euthanized and a block of tissue containing the preoptic area (POA) and hypothalamus was collected. Detection of ESR1 mRNA and kisspeptin was performed by dual-label in situ hybridization/immunocytochemistry. The abundance of ESR1 mRNA in the middle arcuate nucleus (mARC) was greater in OVX than in OVX+E ewe lambs but did not differ between groups in any other hypothalamic area investigated. Posthoc analysis of the LH data obtained from OVX+E lambs indicated three distinct patterns of LH release: low (1-2 pulses/12 h; n=3), moderate (6-7 pulses/12 h; n=6) and high (>10 pulses/12 h; n=5) frequency of LH pulses. The proportion of kisspeptin cells containing ESR1 mRNA in the POA/periventricular area did not differ among OVX+E lambs exhibiting low, moderate and high frequency of LH pulses. However, the proportion of kisspeptin cells containing ESR1 mRNA in the mid ARC was greater in OVX+E lambs exhibiting high frequency of LH pulses (0.57) than in lambs exhibiting moderate (0.36) or low (0.27) LH pulsatility, and did not differ from OVX (0.50) lambs. Contrary to our hypothesis, the increase in LH pulsatility in maturing ewe lambs is associated with enhanced ESR1 expression in kisspeptin neurons in the ARC. This indicates that the mechanism of decreased sensitivity to estradiol negative feedback during maturation of the reproductive neuroendocrine axis does not involve limiting ESR1 transcription in kisspeptin neurons.

▼ Type-2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases globally. The prevalence has increased rapidly in both developed and developing countries. Type-2 diabetes has become epidemic in China in the past three decades. With a relatively low obesity prevalence compared to western countries, such as the United States, the question has arisen as to why people in China are so susceptible to diabetes, but few studies have answered this question definitively. Asians have lower muscle mass than Caucasians which could be one possible explanation. This study aims to test the hypothesis that pubertal muscle mass acquisition, under the influence of testosterone, may be a risk factor for diabetes. This study recruited from the population-representative Chinese “Children of 1997” birth cohort with 8327 participants (88% of all infants born in April and May 1997) in Hong Kong. Participants were aged 15 years at the time of this study. The main objective was to examine the association of pubertal muscle mass with diabetes risk factors, and to examine determinants of pubertal muscle mass in this non-western setting. In June to August 2012, 502 participants from “Children of 1997” were recruited to complete a health assessment follow up at the Active Health Clinic in University of Hong Kong, including a questionnaire, blood tests and a physical examination. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess the associations of: (1) testosterone and pubertal muscle mass with diabetes risk factors, including fasting glucose, fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment -insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and any mediation of the association of testosterone with diabetes risk factors by pubertal muscle mass, and (2) environmental influences, including intergenerational influences, proxied by mother’s place of birth, and current life style influences (meat consumption and physical activity), with pubertal muscle mass. Higher pubertal testosterone was associated with lower fasting glucose (-0.008, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.015 to -0.002), fasting insulin (-0.44, 95% CI -0.57 to -0.31) and HOMA-IR (-0.090, 95% CI -0.12 to -0.063) after adjusting for potential confounders, i.e, sex, birth weight, highest parental education, mother’s place of birth and physical activity. The association was partially mediated by skeletal muscle mass and body fat percentage. Skeletal muscle mass was negatively associated with fasting glucose (-0.017, 95% CI -0.025 to -0.009), insulin (-0.876, 95% CI -1.033 to -0.719), and HOMA-IR (-0.180, 95% CI -0.214 to -0.147) after adjusted for potential confounders. High meat consumption (0.176, 95% CI 0.000 to 0.351) and physical activity (0.157, 95% CI 0.059 to 0.254) were both associated with higher skeletal muscle mass in adolescents; however birth weight and mother’s place of birth had no influence on pubertal skeletal muscle composition. Higher pubertal muscle mass and testosterone are association with better glucose metabolism in adolescence. Food intake and physical activity may also…

▼ Menstruation is a significant milestone in a woman’s life, signifying the onset of puberty and the journey into womanhood. Yet research suggests that the construction of menstruation has many women feeling uncertain and negative about menstruation, and what it means for them. Within the research literature I found four dominant discourses that construct our understandings of menstruation; menstruation as a hygiene crisis that needs rigid management, menstruation as a shameful secret that must be concealed, menstruation as biological and medical where the purpose of menstruation is restricted to pregnancy or illness, and menstruation as constitutive of womanhood in terms of motherhood, and femininity. My review of the research literature led me to design a project to examine the ways menstruation is currently constructed within puberty education, with a particular interest in the various discourses presented to young women. I look at how the girls take up and/or resist these discourses as well as look at the subjectivities made available from them. Finally I examine the ways a wider variety of discourses can be made available and in turn a greater range of subjectivities. As a feminist poststructuralist, I am looking specifically at issues of gender and sexuality, and how meaning and knowledge is constructed through language and discourse. With this as my theoretical framework, I observed three lessons, each teacher’s specific lesson on menstruation, and a concluding joint girl-only lesson, within a puberty unit of a New Zealand intermediate school, conducted individual interviews with the two teachers and focus group the interviews provide the data of this research. Using a discourse analysis approach to examine my data I was able to show the four dominant discourses were still present in the teaching of menstruation at the study school. I also found three discourses that, although not new, appear to be under examined within the construction of menstruation. These discourses of dread, consumerism and celebration may contribute to the dominant constructions of menstruation and/or offer ways to challenge and subvert these constructions. By making visible these discourses and the ways they construct menstruation, I am not looking to locate the ‘correct’ way to teach or understand menstruation. However, I argue that by supporting young women and their teachers to critically analyse the various discourses that shape our understandings of menstruation, we may create opportunities to challenge and resist the dominant constructions as well as open up a wider range of subjectivities.

▼ Throughout sexual maturation, dynamic changes in testicular macro- and microstructure and reproductive hormone levels occur. Future adult reproductive capability is critically dependent on these changes; therefore, regular monitoring of pubertal testicular development is desirable. However, conventional methods of assessment do not permit the frequent and non-invasive examination of testicular function. Recently, scrotal ultrasonography in conjunction with computer-assisted image analysis has emerged as a potential non-invasive alternative for male reproductive assessment. In this procedure, testicular echotexture, or the appearance of the ultrasonogram, is objectively quantified on the basis of brightness or intensity of the minute picture elements, or pixels, comprising the image. In general, testicular pixel intensity increases with age throughout sexual maturation; however, periodic fluctuations occur. Changes in testicular echotexture are related to microstructural attributes of the testes and reproductive hormone secretion, but reports on these relationships have been inconsistent. Therefore, the overall objective of the studies presented in this thesis was to investigate how testicular echotexture and its associations with testicular histomorphology and endocrine profiles may be influenced by various factors including: i) scrotal/testicular integument; ii) blood flow/content; iii) stage of development; and iv) altered spermatogenic onset. Serial scrotal ultrasonograms, testicular biopsies or castrations and blood samples were collected from early postnatal or peripubescent ram lambs and analyzed to obtain echotextural, histomorphological and endocrine data, respectively. Testicular echotextural attributes were influenced by the presence of the scrotal and testicular integument, the stage of spermatogenic development (mitotic vs. post-mitotic) and the amount of germ cell heterogeneity present with or without retinoic acid exposure, but not by blood flow or content. Tubular and luminal size of the seminiferous tubules could be predicted from testicular pixel intensity using a simple linear regression model and demonstrated a moderate strength correlation with testicular echotextural parameters, as did a number of cellular and sub-cellular histomorphological attributes and reproductive hormone levels. These results clearly demonstrate the ability of testicular echotexture to detect experimentally and clinically relevant markers of testicular function. Computerized image analysis of scrotal ultrasonograms holds promise as a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic tool and novel monitoring device of testicular histophysiology.

▼ In recent years, there has been a population-level trend toward earlier puberty, which presents psychological and clinical risks to girls. Body fatness and earlier puberty are also risk factors for problems including adult obesity and breast cancer. Diet is a primary and modifiable factor that can influence puberty and growth. Current research on a Mediterranean-like dietary pattern in regard to these outcomes is limited; no studies have examined its role in puberty outcomes or longitudinal growth, and only one study has examined a Mediterranean-like diet (MD) and body mass index (BMI) in a healthy U.S. pediatric population. We aimed to address these gaps in the literature by evaluating the role of MD adherence in puberty, growth, and body fatness in The Jersey Girl Study. We developed an index for assessing adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet and evaluated its relationship with cross-sectional and longitudinal outcomes. Our sample was a cohort of 202 girls who resided in New Jersey and were 9 or 10 years old at baseline. Data were collected from a baseline study visit and physical examination, a 3-day dietary recall, a general baseline questionnaire filled out by girls’ mothers, and annual follow-up questionnaires on growth and puberty outcomes. Multivariable Poisson regression models showed that high adherence (score 6-9) was significantly associated with lower prevalence of thelarche at baseline compared to girls with low adherence (score 0-3) (Prevalence Ratio: 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.48-0.90 in the fully adjusted model). Further analysis suggested that this may have been driven by consumption of fish and reduced/low/non-fat dairy. Multivariable linear regression models to examine mean age at thelarche also suggested a nonsignificant trend of later age at thelarche with higher MD adherence. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models found that girls with higher MD adherence had significantly longer time to menarche (Hazard Ratio: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.28-0.71 in the fully adjusted model for girls with high vs. low MD adherence). Further analysis suggested that this relationship was driven by vegetable and reduced/low/non-fat dairy consumption. Multivariable proportional odds models for being overweight or obese at baseline, and multivariable linear regression models comparing mean BMI z-score, percent body fat, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, height at baseline, and height at menarche, did not show a significant relationship with MD adherence in this study. Multivariable linear mixed-effects growth models also did not show a difference in pubertal growth rate based on MD adherence. The results of our study were consistent with previous findings that certain components of a Mediterranean-like diet were associated with a later age at menarche and thelarche. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate an association between an overall MD pattern and puberty outcomes. Our results suggest that consuming a more Mediterranean-like diet (high in plant-based… Advisors/Committee Members: Bandera, Elisa V (chair), Barrett, Emily S (internal member), LIN, YONG (internal member), Parekh, Niyati (outside member), School of Graduate Studies.

▼ Puberty in boys has long been an under-investigated area of research mainly due to the lack of an easily available pubertal marker, corresponding to menarche for girls. Using a unique, large, population-based cohort, this thesis targets some of the knowledge gaps regarding puberty and BMI change during puberty in boys. We collected information on height and weight throughout childhood until young adulthood for all included subjects from archived school health records and from the military conscription register, into the BMI Epidemiology study (BEST) cohort. Using these measurements, we estimated prepubertal childhood BMI, post pubertal young adult BMI, BMI change during puberty, and age at Peak Height Velocity (PHV) an objective assessment of pubertal timing. Through linkage with the Cause of Death register we obtained cause of death for all subjects. Childhood BMI and the prevalence of overweight and obesity among 8-year-old boys have overall increased substantially since birth year 1946 until birth year 2006. However, after a significant increase in BMI starting in the 1970s and with a peak at birth year 1991, we observed a moderate but significant decrease (Paper I). Furthermore, we have demonstrated that childhood BMI was inversely associated with pubertal timing in normal weight but not in overweight boys (Paper II). Age at PHV displayed a clear secular trend towards earlier puberty among boys. Since the 1940s until birth year 1996, the pubertal growth spurt was 1.5 months earlier per decade, and this trend could only slightly be explained by the coinciding increase in childhood BMI (Paper III). We demonstrated that BMI change during puberty, but not childhood BMI, was independently associated with the risk of adult cardiovascular mortality. This association between BMI change during puberty and cardiovascular mortality was non-linear, with 22% increased risk of cardiovascular mortality per additional increase in BMI units for individuals in the highest quartile. (Paper IV). This unique material has enabled us to identify long-term trends of childhood BMI and pubertal timing, and to identify a large BMI increase during puberty as a novel independent risk marker for increased risk of adult cardiovascular mortality. The results from this thesis have the potential to transmit directly into benefits for the society through adjustments of the school health care program for improved identification of individuals at risk.

▼ These studies were designed to evaluate the relationships between residual feed intake (RFI) and performance of growing heifers and Brahman cows. Residual feed intake was determined for 77 heifers of diverse breedtypes (Angus, Brahman, Hereford, Holstein, Jersey and F1 crosses) during both the pre- and post-pubertal periods. Heifers were individually fed and allowed ad libitum access to feed for 84 +/- 6 d during the prepubertal feeding trial and 90 +/- 4 d during the post-pubertal feeding trial. Brahmaninfluenced heifers had lower RFI than heifers without Brahman influence during both the pre-pubertal (P < 0.05) and post-pubertal (P < 0.0001) periods. Residual feed intake determined during the pre-pubertal period was only a moderate predictor (r = 0.48; P < 0.0001) of RFI determined during the post-pubertal period. Residual feed intake was determined for 38 Bonsmara heifers over a 70-d feeding period. Heifers were fed a high roughage diet at 2.65% of body weight (BW). Weekly blood serum samples were analyzed for progesterone concentration by radioimmunoassay (RIA) to determine puberty. There were no observed differences between efficient and inefficient heifers for performance traits, age at puberty or conception, or cumulative achievement of puberty and conception. The postpartum performance of Brahman primiparous (n=16) and multiparous (n=38) cows previously evaluated postweaning for RFI was investigated. Females were weighed and evaluated for body condition score (BCS) at 28-d intervals prior to the start of the 2008 calving season. Weekly weights and BCS were collected beginning 21 d after calving. Blood serum samples were also collected weekly for progesterone analysis by radioimmunoassay (RIA), non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) analysis by enzymatic colorimetry, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) analysis by RIA. Females were exposed to vasectomized marker bulls after calving to aid in estrus detection. Eight and ten d following observed estrus, females were evaluated using ultrasonography via rectal palpation to determine the presence of a corpus luteum (CL). Efficient cows exhibited estrus, developed functional corpora lutea, and exhibited estrus with CL formation earlier (P < 0.05) than inefficient cows. Furthermore, a greater percentage (P < 0.05) of efficient than inefficient cows were pregnant at the end of the breeding season. Advisors/Committee Members: Randel, Ronald D.

▼ Developmental changes within the hypothalamus are necessary for maturation of the reproductive neuroendocrine axis. Recent reports have implicated several neuronal networks in this process, but genes involved in their regulation have not been elucidated. Using a well-established model for nutritional induction of precocious puberty, objectives were to 1) use microarray technology to examine changes in gene expression within the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus in pre-pubertal heifers fed high or low-concentrate diets, and 2) determine if high-concentrate diets are required for nutritional induction of precocious puberty. In Experiment 1, early-weaned, cross-bred heifers were fed either a high-forage/low-gain (HF/LG; 0.45 kg/d) or a highconcentrate/ high-gain (HC/HG; 0.91 kg/d) diet for 91 d. Analysis of microarray data indicated that 346 genes were differentially expressed (P < 0.05) between HC/HG and HF/LG heifers. Expression of three key metabolic genes [neuropeptide Y (NPY), agoutirelated protein (AGRP), and growth hormone receptor (GHR)] observed to be differentially expressed in the microarray analysis was investigated further by quantitative PCR. Real-time RT-PCR indicated that expression of NPY, AGRP and GHR was lower (P < 0.05) in HC/HG compared to HF/LG heifers. In contrast, concentrations of insulin (P < 0.05), IGF-1 (P < 0.002) and leptin (P = 0.1) were greater in HC/HG compared to HF/LG. For Experiment 2, 48 heifers were used in 2 replicates (24 heifers/replicate) in a 2 x 2 factorial design to examine the roles of diet type (HF vs HC) and rate of gain (LG, 0.45 kg/d vs HG, 0.91 kg/d) on age at puberty. Heifers were fed HC/HG, HC/LG, HF/HG or HF/LG (n = 12/group) for 14 wk, and then switched to a common growth diet (0.68 kg/d) until puberty. Heifers in both HG groups reached puberty at a younger age (54.5 ? 1.8 wk) than heifers in both LG groups (60.2 ? 1.9 wk; P < 0.04). A marked increase (P < 0.01) in serum concentrations of leptin occurred in HC/HG heifers between 24 and 30 wk of age. This increase in circulating leptin was not observed in other groups. Overall, results indicate that nutritional regulation of reproductive neuroendocrine development involves the control of NPY, AGRP and GHR expression. The abrupt increase noted for circulating leptin in heifers fed HC/HG diets, if timed and sustained appropriately, could represent an important temporal cue for activation of the neuroendocrine system and the onset of puberty.

▼ Accelerated body weight gain during the juvenile period leads to early maturation of the reproductive neuroendocrine system and puberty by advancing the onset of high-frequency release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). In a series of studies conducted as part of this dissertation, it was hypothesized that nutritional regimens that accelerate pubertal development alter the function of kisspeptin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons, known modulators of the release of GnRH. In addition, alterations in the pattern of methylation of target genome sequences were investigated in DNA collected from the arcuate nucleus, a hypothalamic region well-characterized for its role in mediating the metabolic control of reproductive function. Early-weaned crossbred heifers were fed diets to promote an average daily gain of 0.5 Kg (Low Gain; n=12) or 1.0 Kg (High Gain; n=12) from approximately 4 to 8 mo of age. This nutritional regimen has been demonstrated to facilitate early onset of puberty in heifers. At eight mo of age, heifers were slaughtered and a block of tissue containing the preoptic area and hypothalamus was collected and processed for examining the expression of NPY and KISS1, investigating the innervation of GnRH and kisspeptin neurons by NPY fibers, and characterizing the methylation profile of target genomic DNA sequences isolated from the arcuate nucleus. Mean body weight and circulating concentrations of leptin were greater in High-gain than in Low-gain heifers. Elevated rate of body weight gain was associated with reduced expression of NPY in the arcuate nucleus, reduced proportion of GnRH neurons in apposition to NPY-containing varicosities, particularly in GnRH neurons located in the mediobasal hypothalamus, and a reduced number of KISS1-expressing cells in the mid portion of the arcuate nucleus. The rate of body weight gain during the juvenile period did not affect NPY innervation of kisspeptin neurons. Differential methylation of target genomic DNA sequences isolated from the arcuate nucleus was observed in association with rate of body weight gain in juvenile heifers, and genes affected included GHR, IGF2, IGF1R, LEPR, PEG3, LIN28B and HMGA2. Overall, results from these studies support the hypothesis that accelerated body weight gain during the juvenile period promotes alterations in cellular functions within the hypothalamus that facilitate early onset of puberty in heifers.

▼ Background: Accumulating evidence suggests puberty is occurring earlier today than ever before. Pubertal timing may be a harbinger for abnormal metabolic health. Thus, identifying its upstream determinants and downstream metabolic health consequences may provide an avenue to primordial prevention. The objective of this dissertation was to investigate pubertal timing in relation to type 2 diabetes (T2D), adipose depots, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and early-life nutrition. Methods: This dissertation includes three separate but related research manuscripts. The first aimed to investigate pubertal timing and T2D in a Brazilian adult population (35-74y) who were born and came of age before the rise of overweight and obesity in Brazil. The second examined pubertal timing in relation NAFLD and fat depots in a biracial cohort of young adults (18-30 years at entry, 42-56 years at measurement of NAFLD) from the Coronary Artery Risk Development In Young Adults (CARDIA) study. Finally, the third paper determined the role of diet quality and risk of early pubertal timing in a biracial sample of girls (9-10 years) from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study (NGHS). Multivariable linear regression was used for continuous outcomes (glucose homeostasis measures, adipose depots, liver attenuation, and age at menarche) and Poisson regression to generate prevalence ratios (PR) and relative risks (RR) for dichotomous outcomes (T2D, NAFLD, and early menarche). In the last project, a diet quality score, derived by summing standard deviation scores for the densities of nutrients/chemicals indicative of prudent or Western dietary patterns, was analyzed in relation to incident early menarche. Results: In the first paper: early menarche [<11 years vs. 13-14 years (reference)] was associated with 22% (95% confidence interval: 3-42%) higher prevalence of T2D in Brazilian adults, adjusted for confounders and BMI at age 20 years. In the same model, a 1-standard deviation higher relative leg length (RLL), a marker of early life growth and maturation, was associated with a 10% (5-15%) and 11% (7-15%) lower prevalence of T2D in women and men, respectively. The association between RLL and T2D was stronger among females with earlier menarche (p for interaction on multiplicative scale = 0.02), and among adults who were overweight or obese at age 20 years (p for interaction on multiplicative scale = 0.02) or 35-74 years (p for interaction on multiplicative scale = 0.03). In the second paper: in CARDIA, a 1-year increment in age at menarche was associated with 10% (2-18%) lower prevalence of NAFLD, and inversely associated with visceral, subcutaneous, and intra-abdominal muscle fat, after adjusting for confounders and BMI measured at 18-30 years. RLL was also associated with these measures, but was attenuated after control for BMI. Lastly, in the third paper: a better diet quality was associated with lower risk of early menarche (<11 years) after adjustment for confounders and % body fat from skinfolds…

▼ It is widely accepted that as girls age, physical activity declines. Less understood is if that decline is the result of increasing chronological age, or pubertal onset (thelarche or pubarche). Longitudinal studies must also understand how best to collect data on physical activity levels in children and adolescents as they age in order to answer these and other important questions. Data for these analyses originated from the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program (BCERP) Puberty Cohort. The first, a methods study, utilized 2011 reported physical activity data from both the parent/guardian and girl (participant) to determine the amount of agreement between the two reports. The second longitudinal analyses used parent reported physical activity from 2005 through 2011 to determine the impact of pubertal development on physical activity levels. The physical activity questionnaire was administered each year of the study at each site (NY, OH, CA) and contained questions about participation in 19 core activities (both team/group activities and non-team activities) and as well as “other” activities. Data were collected on hours per week and months per year of participation.Substantial agreement (¿ = 0.62) exists between parent and girl dyad reported activities for the 19 core activities (N=732 parent/girl dyads). In addition, the mean difference between parent and girl reported hours per week of annualized activity (across all activities including “other” activities) was not statistically different 0.36 ± 7.01 (p=0.21) from zero. Dyad differences in hours per week of annualized activity (parent-girl) did exist by site and type of activity (all core activities, team/group activities, non-team activities, and all reported activities). The longitudinal analysis showed an increase, not a decrease of physical activity over our study period. The time windows 2-3 years and 3-4 years post pubarche indicated a 10% increase and then a 10% decrease in activity. The time window 4-5 years post-thelarche indicated an 11% decrease in physical activity. Differences in predictive factors (age, BMIz, income) exist by race and may be the result of primary (pubertal changes) or secondary (BMIz) mechanisms. Therefore, pubertal onset does not appear to be associated with changes in physical activity. Time windows later in puberty do appear to be associated with a decrease in activity suggesting other pubertal events may be more closely related to the decreased in physical activity seen during the adolescent period.

▼ Breeding beef heifers to produce calves at 2 years of age could be a profitable management decision. The current practices have proved inefficient, which has justified further research in the area. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of repeated progestogen priming on the attainment of puberty by prepubertal heifers, to evaluate the potential additive effect of progestogen priming plus sodium monensin on the attainment of puberty by prepubertal heifers, to examine subsequent reproductive performance, including the response to synchronization of the estrous cycle, first-service pregnancy rates and overall pregnancy rates and to examine the effects of repeated progestogen priming on follicular dynamics of prepubertal beef heifers. Data were collected and analyzed for birth weight, adjusted weaning weight, postweaning gain/loss in weight and daily gain throughout the experiment. Also the average frame score, average breeding weight, average breeding body condition score, average change in body condition score, average number of animals that showed estrus behavior prior to the breeding season, average number of animals that responded to synchronization, average number of corpora lutea formed during the treatment periods, reproductive tract score at breeding as well as the change in reproductive tract score, follicle populations, change in ovary scores throughout the experiment, pregnancy percentage and the average fetal age at pregnancy determination were evaluated. In this study, treatment groups fed sodium monensin (Rumensin and MGA+Rumensin groups) had significant (P<0.05) advancements in fertility and maturational status when compared with Control animals. The MGA group did excel in follicle development when compared with the Control group, but more heifers became pregnant from artificial insemination combined with natural mating in the Rumensin groups than in the Control group. In conclusion, these experiments provide evidence for the positive effect of sodium monensin on puberty attainment and increased overall pregnancy rates when using artificial insemination in conjunction with natural mating. However, the additive effect of melengestrol acetate, if any, is yet to be defined.

▼ BACKGROUND In girls, puberty is accompanied by the adolescent growth spurt, a large influx of oestrogen, as well as an increased risk of sustaining a non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The rapid growth and hormonal changes experienced by girls throughout puberty are thought to play a role in this increased injury risk, contributing to altered lower limb inertial properties, ultimately affecting lower limb flexibility and strength, with the potential to influence landing biomechanics. However, the longitudinal changes in musculoskeletal structure and function, as well as oestrogen levels, in addition to the longitudinal development of landing technique throughout the adolescent growth spurt in girls, remains unclear. THESIS AIM The primary purpose of this thesis was to investigate the longitudinal changes in musculoskeletal structure and function, as well as the oestrogen levels, during the adolescent growth spurt in girls and the influence of these changes on lower limb landing biomechanics. METHODS Forty-six healthy girls, aged 10-13 years, were recruited for this longitudinal study based on their pubertal development (Tanner Stage II-III) and their time from peak height velocity (maturity offset; -6 to -4 months or 0 months). Participants were tested up to four times during the 12 months of their adolescent growth spurt, according to their maturity offset (Test 1: maturity offset = -6 to -4 months, Test 2: maturity offset = 0 months, Test 3: maturity offset = +4 months, Test 4: maturity offset = +8 months). During the laboratory test sessions, each participant’s anthropometric characteristics, oestrogen levels, anterior knee joint laxity, lower limb flexibility, isokinetic strength and landing biomechanics were collected and recorded. The landing task performed was a horizontal leap movement, during which ground reaction forces (1,000 Hz), lower limb electromyography (1,000 Hz) and kinematic data (100 Hz) were collected. Monthly tracking was also conducted, so as to estimate maturity offset using anthropometric data, as well as to determine monthly fluctuations in lower limb flexibility and strength. Results from this longitudinal study were analysed and presented in four chapters (Chapter 3-6), with each chapter systematically contributing to the overall thesis aim. The primary purpose of Chapter 3 was to determine the longitudinal changes in anthropometry, anterior knee joint laxity, lower limb flexibility and strength, as well as the oestrogen levels, in pubescent girls during their growth spurt. Based on the findings from Chapter 3, the effects of variations in hamstring muscle strength (Chapter 4) and anterior knee joint laxity (Chapter 5) on the lower limb landing biomechanics of these pubescent girls were investigated. Finally, based on the longitudinal musculoskeletal changes displayed by girls in Chapter 3, the final experimental chapter of this thesis investigated the longitudinal changes in lower limb landing technique displayed by pubescent girls through their…

▼ Puberty involves profound anthropometric and hormonal changes that have been associated with changes in mood, behaviour and other health risks that emerge in adolescence. However, there is little longitudinal research in the effects of puberty on adolescents. The overarching aim of this thesis was to demonstrate novel ways of studying puberty and how these improve our understanding of the longitudinal changes that occur over this period. Oestradiol is popularly associated with changes in mood and depression and testosterone with aggression and risk taking. Chapters 3 and 4 reviewed the effects of oestradiol on female, and testosterone on male adolescent mood and behaviour. In both reviews there were inconsistent cross-sectional data, and limited longitudinal data, supporting such associations. In Chapter 5, text messaging reminders for study compliance was studied. Specimen collection correlated with text message reply time. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assays on urine and serum specimens quantified oestradiol, testosterone and luteinising hormone levels in 97% of urine and 95% of serum specimens (Chapter 6). Hormone changes over one year were not linear, with frequent urine sampling offering a more nuanced description of puberty hormone change. Self-rated Tanner stage and other subjective measures of puberty (adolescent- and parent-rated) were compared with longitudinal changes in serum hormones in Chapter 7. Positive longitudinal associations were observed between these subjective measures and hormone changes. Chapter 8 identifies foot length growth as a novel marker for early puberty changes. Positive longitudinal relationships were observed between foot length, height, weight, Tanner stage and serum sex steroids. Foot length offers a practical, novel and cost-effective marker of early puberty. This thesis provides novel insights into puberty and adolescence, particularly how this life transition is studied. The importance of longitudinal research to determine the true effects of puberty hormone changes on adolescents is highlighted, and data are provided to show how this can be feasibly achieved.
