Within approximately 6 months of postnatal life, circulating LH and FSH concentrations decline to low levels indicating that pulsatile GnRH release has been restrained thereby guaranteeing the hypogonadotropic state of the juvenile monkey that, in turn, ensures the relative quiescence of the ovary and testis (19,20). 5 years of age in the male and gonadarche (puberty) is initiated. Because experimentally imposed gonadotropin stimulation of either the testis or the ovary of the juvenile monkey will lead to the precocious onset of ovulation in the female (21) and spermatogenesis in the male (22), the brake imposed on pulsatile GnRH release late in infancy is the key component responsible for the protracted delay to puberty in this and other higher primates.
