levels of testosterone in individuals on a vegan diet compared to a vegetarian diet.

Here's the kicker. Vegans have higher levels of SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) which binds testosterone and keeps it basically in an inactive state (free vs bound T). However, what these authors found, which is supported by other studies as well, is that the body compensates for higher SHBG by producing more testosterone in order to maintain constant levels of free circulating testosterone.
