The concentrations of total and free testosterone
were studied in 30 healthy, middle-aged men during a
dietary intervention program. When men were transferred from their customary diet to an experimental diet, which contained less fat with a higher polyunsaturated/saturated ratio (P/S-ratio) and more fibre, there was a significant decrease in serum total testosterone concentrations. Furthermore, unbound testosterone also decreased.
