Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does consumption of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum alter phytoestrogen metabolism and plasma hormones in men : a pilot study?
Answer: The 2-month intervention with probiotic capsules did not significantly alter equol excretion, plasma hormone, or leptin concentrations in these subjects. A secondary finding was that male equol excretors in this study did not exhibit a hormone profile consistent with reduced prostate cancer risk, although this result should be interpreted with caution.
Output (English): no
