The liver undergoes a transient slowdown period of growth during adrenarche in young female rats. A Body growth profile of female rats from neonatal to adult age. B Liver growth profile of female rats from neonatal to adult age. C Liver index profile of female rats from neonatal to adult age. Red dotted rectangle indicates the short transient slowdown period of liver growth in young female rats. C Adrenal cytochrome P450 17A1 (Cyp17a1) mRNA expression profile in female rats during 2 to 4 wk of age. D Serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) concentration profile in female rats during 2 to 4 wk of age. a−g Means without a common letter differed (p < 0.05), ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
