The following:
1. The mechanisms involved in the rise of sex steroid secretion occurring at puberty.
2. The probable effects of fat and intense exercise at the time of puberty.
Introduction:
Puberty is the time when males and females attain sexual maturity. The body shows different signs in both males and females. Females develop secondary sexual characters such as breast development and menstruation while the males experience muscle growth, facial hair development, and the voice becomes heavier.

Teratoma in the pituitary gland is a very rare tumor that occurs in children and young adults. Usual symptoms of teratoma are diabetes insipidus, neurological issues, and a reduction in pituitary hormones.
Which of the following correctly describes the symptoms of a 10 years old girl with a teratoma tumor in the pituitary gland.
Select one:
A. Increased levels of ADH and stimulation of the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
B. Increased levels of FSH and inhibition of the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
C. Decreased levels of ADH and inhibition of the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
D. Decreased level of FSH and stimulation of the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
Clomiphene Citrate is a fertility drug that stimulates hypothalamic secretion of Gonadotropin releasing Hormone (GnRH) in females and induces ovulation. Explain how increased GnRH with Clomiphene Citrate treatment would affect follicle maturation and ovulation in women (explain how increased GnRH would affect FSH, LH, Estrogen, and ovulation).
Discuss the critical effects of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy.
