Research Article: Metabolomic disorders caused by an imbalance in the gut microbiota are associated with central precocious puberty
Abstract:
Background: Central precocious puberty (CPP) is characterized by the premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, resulting in early onset of sexual development. The incidence of CPP has been rising in recent years, with approximately 90% of cases lacking a clearly identifiable etiology. While an association between precocious puberty and gut microbiota has been observed, the precise causal pathways and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The study aims to investigate the potential mechanisms through which gut microbiota imbalances may contribute to CPP.
