Effect of acid-base balance on the growth hormone response to acute high-intensity cycle exercise.

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.

To investigate the effect of acid-base balance on serum human growth hormone (hGH) concentration after an acute high-intensity anaerobic exercise bout, 10 untrained but normally active men [age, 24.6 +/- 1.5 (SE) yr] participated in a randomized double-blind counterbalanced experiment.

Why It Was Studied

Each subject reported in a fasted state at the same time of day for two experimental sessions separated by 1 wk.

Venous blood samples were obtained before [baseline (BL)] and 75 min after the ingestion period, as well as postexercise at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 min.

Who Took Part

By PubMed's age tags, the people studied were teenagers and adults, men only.

How the Study Was Run

In design terms this was a randomized and double-blind study.

The participants were allocated by chance, so the Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) group and the comparison group should start out alike.

Neither the participants nor the staff measuring them knew who was on Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over), so expectations could not easily colour the readings.

What Was Measured

The subject headings attached to it are Acid-Base Equilibrium, Bicarbonates, Bicycling, Blood Glucose, Growth Hormone, Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Ion Concentration.

What This Means in Plain Language

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

The publication is from 1994 (Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)), a journal based in United States.
