The cause of the 'pubertal' rise in gonadotrophin secretion, or of the fall during late infancy, is not known and in order to see whether this effect occurred
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
