Abstract
Patterns of nocturnal excretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were investigated in 11 girls. Autoregressive digital filtering of low- and high-frequency variations was used to make patterns more apparent. Coincident FSH and LH surges, separated by an interval of 20 to 40 days, were seen in specimens from three of six postmenarcheal girls and three to five premenarcheal girls. This suggests that cyclic hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian interactions occur before menarche.Keywords
