JoeRoccoCassara Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 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?

freeztar Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 I'm not exactly sure how to answer your question, but I can offer a link that might provide some more insight into your hypothetical situation. British Society for Neuroendocrinology - 18. Puberty: mind and body I think this would best fit the Medical Science forum rather than Biology. :) Quote
