Development and Aging of the Mammalian Reproductive System

摘要

A review of data concerning the development of the mammalian reproductive system is presented. Particular attention is paid to hormonal and social factors affecting the process of mammalian sexual maturation as well as to species for which early sexual maturation is typical. Along with this, age-related changes of the reproductive system in males and females are noted. Ontogenetic aspects of the reproductive system's development in humans are discussed in detail. Peculiarities on the use of reproductive technologies depending on age are noted.
