Animal and plant proteins show different associations with testosterone levels in men
Higher animal protein intake was associated with lower blood testosterone levels, while higher plant protein intake was associated with higher levels, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. The findings were published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition.
Research with 2,546 men in Finland identified an inverse association between animal protein consumption and hormone levels; plant proteins were associated with higher concentrations.
Compared to participants who preferred plant protein, men had significantly lower testosterone levels.
