Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Researchers Provide New Study Findings on Precocious Puberty (Dose inhibin B or anti-Mullerian hormone relate to precocious puberty in girls? result of a systematic review and meta-analysis).

A recent study conducted by researchers at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine aimed to investigate the relationship between serum levels of inhibin B (INHB) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and precocious puberty in girls. The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 studies involving 552 girls with precocious puberty and 405 healthy girls. The results showed that the level of INHB was significantly increased in girls with precocious puberty, particularly central precocious puberty (CPP) and premature thelarche (PT). However, there was no significant association between precocious puberty and the level of serum AMH. The researchers suggest that INHB levels may serve as a marker for the auxiliary diagnosis of precocious puberty, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to minimize the risk of physical, psychological, and social disorders in affected girls.
