    Author: Price DA, Addison GM, Herbert ED.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1990 Nov; 65(11):1203-4. PubMed ID: 2248528.
    Abstract:
    During the pubertal years the overnight urinary excretion rate of growth hormone (hGHu) increases to three to four times the prepubertal rate, reaching a peak in girls at 13 years and in boys at 15 years. After puberty the mean rate of overnight hGHu is twice that before puberty.
