Dose-dependent effects of milk lipids on sex hormone and blood lipid levels in male mice.
Diets containing powdered whole milk caused a dose dependent increase in seminal vesicle weights when fed to 21 day old intact male mice. Blood cholesterol levels increased as the lipids in the diet increased. Triglyceride levels were high and inversely related to lipid intake. Peripheral androgen concentrations decreased as the lipid intake and seminal vesicle weights increased, indicating a possible shift of the hormone to the target organ tissue.
