In this study published in Cell
Reports, Alexandra Van Keymeulen and colleagues generated a new transgenic line - allowing lineage tracing of ER + luminal cells to investigate luminal cell heterogeneity and identify the origin of ER + luminal cells and the mechanisms regulating their
pubertal expansion and adult maintenance.
There was also a higher
report of sexually transmitted diseases compared to men who had a normal
pubertal onset.
Self -
report measure of
pubertal status: reliability, validity, and initial norms.
We conducted a sensitivity analysis to determine whether the observed group differences were explained by differences in
pubertal development, assessed with a self -
report questionnaire at the same age as physiological reactivity was assessed.
Despite the widely
reported link between early
pubertal timing and internalizing symptoms among girls, less is known about the peer reputation of earlier maturing girls.
Summary of hierarchical regression analyses testing peer - and teacher -
reported popularity among boys as a mediator of the link between
pubertal timing and rumors
Indeed, rumors helped account for internalizing symptoms
reported both a semester after the assessment of
pubertal development as well as an entire school year later.
In boys who
reported low
pubertal status, both NCS (β =.48, p =.001) and stressors (β =.27, p =.002) were significantly associated with depressive symptoms.
The two - way interaction age (or
pubertal status) by gender (included in all models under test) was not significant; whereas it would be expected that girls
report more depressive symptoms as level of maturation (age /
pubertal status) increases compared to boys.
Results showed that although the four - way interaction between NCS, stressors, gender, and age was significant while the four - way interaction with
pubertal status was marginally significant, the interpretation of these interactions was largely similar, i.e., NCS and depressive symptoms were significantly related only in the presence of many stressors in middle to late adolescent boys (or in boys
reporting a high
pubertal status).
NCS was more strongly related to depressive symptoms in boys with high
pubertal status that
reported many (mean +1 SD) stressors (β =.73, p =.16) compared to boys with high
pubertal status
reporting few stressors (β =.21, p =.74).
The purpose of this
report is to provide evidence of an association between within - person variability in diurnal testosterone over 1 year, lifetime exposure to violence, and the manifestation of antisocial behavior in 135
pubertal - aged adolescents across 1 year.
Next to SR - rumination and stressors,
pubertal status was modestly related to depressive symptoms (β =.06, p =.03), indicating that participants
reported more depressive symptoms as they perceived their
pubertal status as higher.
However, contrary to age, how
pubertal status is perceived and
reported may also be influenced by depressive symptoms.
Child -
reported depression was assessed using the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Interview and ratings of past - year life events and
pubertal status obtained by maternal questionnaire and interview, respectively.
Some support has been found for an association between hormonal concentrations and negative affect20 - 24; however, social factors, including negative life events and their interaction with
pubertal status (but not hormonal status), account for more of the variance in negative affect than biological factors alone.25 Early
pubertal timing and its social implications have also been postulated as an important risk factor in girls.26 - 31 Two recent studies, however,
report that
pubertal status has a greater influence in predicting female depression than age32, 33 or the timing of puberty.32
At each wave of assessment, parents completed the parent version of Carskadon and Acebo's (1993) self -
