Chemical kiss turns kids into adolescents

Scientists have known for years that puberty begins when a child's brain orders the release of hormones that cascade through the body. This leads to the maturing of testes in boys and ovaries in girls.

'We have found the exact process involves kisspeptin fitting into a receptor on the surface of cells in one part of the brain,' said Professor Tony Plant of the University of Pittsburgh. 'This causes the cell to send out a signal to the pituitary gland which releases hormones. It begins, literally, with a kiss.'

I like the avatar.

Reminds me of that joke.
How do you make a hormone (whore moan)?
Don't pay the slut.
