A 2003 study entitled «Effect of Training Status and Exercise Mode on Endogenous Steroid Hormones in Males» (20) discovered that
compared to an endurance training group and sedentary group, the resistance training group had higher levels of luteinizing hormone, DHEA, cortisol,
total and free
testosterone and hematocrit.
These responses may be explained by sustained
total testosterone levels seen in the KD group
compared to reductions in
total testosterone as a result of the fluctuations in macronutrient intake.
Prior to the U Conn study, only one previous study
compared the effect of soy and whey protein supplementation on the hormones of men doing resistance training.15 That study reported «no significant differences» between the soy and whey groups for
total testosterone, free
testosterone and sex - hormone - binding globulin (SHBG) after twelve weeks of supplementation.
