Early Puberty Group
Subjects were subdivided into normal weight and overweight groups. Blood was drawn at 1900 hr for baseline measurements. At 2200 hr each subject will take dexamethasone. At 0700 hr the following day, subjects will have a blood drawn for hormone measurements. After this adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) will be administered. At 30 and 60 minutes after ACTH, blood will be obtained for repeat hormone measurements. Adrenocorticotropin: Subjects will have blood drawn at 1900 hr for baseline measurements. At 2200 hr each subject will take a oral dose of dexamethasone at 2200 hr. At 0700 hr the following day, subjects will have a blood drawn for hormone measurements. After this blood sample, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) will be administered. At 30 and 60 minutes after Cosyntropin, blood will be obtained for repeat hormone measurements.

Early Puberty Group
n=10 Participants
Subjects were further subdivided into normal weight and overweight groups. Subjects will have blood drawn at 1900 hr for baseline hormone measurements. At 2200 hr each subject will take a single oral dose of dexamethasone at 2200 hr. At 0700 hr the following day, subjects will have a blood sample drawn for hormone measurements. After this blood sample, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) will be administered as an iv bolus. At 30 and 60 minutes after ACTH, blood samples will be obtained for repeat hormone measurements.
