What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
This randomized controlled trial looks at Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over).
Serum IGF-I levels were monitored to assess compliance with GH treatment.
Why It Was Studied
The researchers examined the effect of aerobic training on cycle ergometers in a double-blind crossover trial.
Who Took Part
The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, middle-aged adults and older adults.
How the Study Was Run
The design is described as randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and crossover.
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.
As a double-blind Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) study, the assignments were hidden from both participants and investigators until the end.
A placebo (an inactive look-alike) gave the Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) group a baseline to be compared against.
In the crossover set-up each of the participants took both Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) and the comparison in turn, acting as their own control.
Peak oxygen uptake (VO(2)peak) and ventilation threshold (VeT) were measured during a progressive cycle ergometer test to fatigue or symptom-limited maximum.
What Was Measured

What This Means in Plain Language
The paper is a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over).
The publication is from 2003 (The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism), 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.
