A stereotypical presentation of a hero in a Hollywood action movie would lavishly brag about not only strong muscle but also a large statue(a.k.a.bone structure),ostensibly for an attractive image.Unknown to these movie producers is that the bone tissue does send a“sex-related”message,an endocrine message to be exact,to the male reproductive system.Maybe we shouldn’t blame Hollywood for their naivetéafter all;even in the scientific community,there is a long-held traditional belief that regards skeletal bone as merely a structural and supportive tissue.However,this view has been challenged by a series of recent studies.
