The skeleton plays an important role in men for the continuation of the genus, since it is the bones that produce the hormone that is required for the production of testosterone by the body, according to British researchers, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Scientists conducted experiments on laboratory mice. It turned out that males of animals whose skeleton bones did not produce the hormone osteocalcin had a reduced reproductive function.

In several experiments, experts confirmed that osteocalcin improves the production of testosterone - a sex hormone directly responsible for the ability to fertilize. In the absence of osteocalcin, testosterone levels decrease, causing a deterioration in sperm quality and fertility.

Given the common features of the hormonal systems of mice and humans, experts suggest that their findings also apply to men. If osteocalcin is associated with the secretion of testosterone in humans, a low level of this hormone can explain why some couples can not have children.
