title: [Normal pubertal development].
abstract: Puberty, the period of transition between childhood and adulthood, is the result of sequential changes in endocrine activity determined largely by genetic factors. The process is controlled by a number of complex neuroendocrine factors for its onset as well as its progression to full sexual maturity. The Authors summarize the morphological, biometric and hormonal changes and the factors of neuroendocrine control of puberty.
