Question

All of the following changes occur during puberty, except
A) the hypothalamus decreases its production of GnRH.
B) FSH levels increase.
C) LH levels increase.
D) growth rate increases.
E) gamete formation begins.

Accepted Answer

During puberty, GnRH production by the hypothalamus actually increases, leading to increased secretion of FSH and LH by the anterior pituitary gland. This in turn stimulates the gonads to produce sex hormones and initiates gamete formation. Growth rate also increases during puberty. Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the hypothalamus actually increases its production of GnRH during puberty.
