What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

The paper reports a study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over), published as a randomized controlled trial.

The Pulsar peak detection system was used to evaluate the pulsatility profile characteristics of hGH.

Why It Was Studied

The AHRE was conducted from 1500 to 1700 and was a high-volume, multiset exercise bout.

Three different immunoassays measured hGH concentrations: the Nichols immunoradiometric assay (Nichols IRMA), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases radioimmunoassay (NIDDK RIA), and the Diagnostic Systems Laboratory immunofunctional assay (DSL IFA).

Who Took Part

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, men only.

How the Study Was Run

In design terms this was a randomized study.

Random assignment meant chance, not the researchers, decided who got Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) and who got the comparison, which limits bias.

What Was Measured

Three different immunoassays measured hGH concentrations: the Nichols immunoradiometric assay (Nichols IRMA), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases radioimmunoassay (NIDDK RIA), and the Diagnostic Systems Laboratory immunofunctional assay (DSL IFA).

What This Means in Plain Language

The paper is a randomized study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over).

The publication is from 2001 (Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)), a journal based in United States.

Our Notes on the Compound

Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over): Constant levels suppress the body's own GHRH, raise somatostatin and dull pituitary response.
