Abstract

There appears to a be an optimal window of nutritional sufficiency to allow for reproduction to occur in males and females. The male hypothalamic pituitary (HP) axis is relatively static and therefore is more resistant to nutritional perturbations than is the female HP axis. However, accumulating data indicate that both under- and overnutrition have consequences on the pace of sexual maturation in humans and on subsequent reproductive function. This chapter will review current knowledge of this field.
