The precocious puberty in female rats were induced by subcutaneous injection of N-methyl-DL-aspartate (NMA). The female rats with induced precocious puberty showed the same sexual feature as the rats that had normal puberty. NMA plays its role at the level of hypothalamus. Subcutaneous injection of NMA is an effective means to induce true precocious puberty in female rats.
