 Questioning | Second puberty I have a question. If a 26 year old man was obese and had such a strong heart that it could continue to pump blood for a couple hundred years, with a brain that forgot it sent hormone signals from his brain to his gonads (The brain thinks he never hit puberty, but he did) would this man go through a second puberty, causing him to have heavier bones and nearly twice as much skeletal muscle as the average 26 year old? | |

British Society for Neuroendocrinology - 18. Puberty: mind and body I think this would best fit the Medical Science forum rather than Biology.  ---------------- Hypography Science Forums Moderator --- "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth.

And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it." - Marie Curie | |
