I read this on a thread about Leptin!!
Leptin also plays an important role in regulating and modulating the onset of puberty. For example undernourished and thin women take longer to reach puberty than heavier girls. Thin girls often fail to ovulate or release an egg from an ovary during menstruation cycles. Reproductive growth and fat stores are therefore vital in the regulation of reproduction.
Researchers know that leptin plays a role at least to some degree in the onset of puberty as individuals with an absence of leptin or a lack of response to leptin do not experience puberty, with their bodies remaining pre-pubescent for life.
