    Summary
    Cetrorelix, triptorelin, and buserelin retarded the onset of puberty as determined by delayed vaginal opening, lower ovarian weights, and lower serum estradiol levels.

    Summary · context
    We conducted two multigroup experiments (12 and 10 d, respectively) treating prepubertal/peripubertal female rats with either the GnRH agonist triptorelin or buserelin and compared them with rats treated with the GnRH antagonist cetrorelix and controls to assess the effects on pubertal progress and serum hormones.
