Abstract

Puberty is a critical period of physiologic and neurobehavioral development, hallmarked by the transition to full reproductive potential. During this period, there is also a physiologic decrease in insulin sensitivity that recovers by early adulthood. This chapter will explore what is known about this pubertal change in insulin sensitivity and its potential impact on future health and disease.
