Adrenarche, defined as a prepubertal increase in adrenal androgen secretion resulting from zona reticularis (ZR) maturation, is thought to occur only in humans and some Great Apes. In the rhesus macaque, studies of circulating dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or its sulpho-conjugate (DHEAS) have failed to demonstrate a prepubertal rise typical of human adrenarche, but available data are cross-sectional and include few neonatal or early infant samples. However, ZR maturation is complete in rhesus infants by 3 months of age based on morphological and biochemical analyses. Furthermore, preliminary longitudinal study from birth through infancy of castrated males, and intact males and females, suggests for the first time that there is a transient, prepubertal elevation of adrenal androgen in rhesus macaques. Serum DHEAS concentration increased, peaking between 6 and 8 weeks of age in castrate males, and intact males and females, then declined. These longitudinal profiles add endocrinological support to the morphological and biochemical evidence that adrenarche occurs in a narrow developmental window in infant rhesus macaques. Adrenarche in any species should be defined only after careful longitudinal hormone analysis have been conducted in stages of development that are suggested by morphological and biochemical evidence of ZR maturation.
