Probiotic Microbes Sustain Youthful Serum Testosterone Levels and Testicular Size in Aging Mice
The decline of circulating testosterone levels in aging men is associated with adverse health effects. During studies of probiotic bacteria and obesity, we discovered that male mice routinely consuming purified lactic acid bacteria originally isolated from human milk had larger testicles and increas...
