The study evaluated the effects of fat and fiber consumption on sex hormones in men.
Men were assigned into 2 groups eating (a) Low fat, high fibre diet (b) High fat, low fibre diet.
The men on the high fat
, low fibre diet had higher total and sex-hormone-binding-globulin (SHBG)-bound testosterone levels by 13% and 15% respectively.Higher testosterone and SHBG levels are associated with a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.
