* Larger and larger quantities of testosterone and oestradiol are needed to inhibit the GnRH neurons.
* Larger and larger quantities of testosterone and oestradiol are needed to inhibit the GnRH neurons.
* Thus, there is decreased sensitivity to the negative feedback of testosterone/oestrodiol.
* Thus, there is decreased sensitivity to the negative feedback of testosterone/oestrodiol.
* Therefore, the hypothalamus can produce increasing amounts of GnRH.
* Therefore, the [[Hypothalamus_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|hypothalamus]] can produce increasing amounts of GnRH.
* Thus, more LH and FSH are produced until puberty is reached.
* Thus, more LH and FSH are produced until puberty is reached.
