| Usage: |
Adrenarche refers to a maturational increase in the secretion of adrenal androgen precursors, mainly Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS). In premature adrenarche (PA), clinical signs of androgen action appear before the age of 8 – 9 years in girls/boys, concurrently with the circulating DHEAS concentrations above the usually low prepubertal level. |
