Abstract excerpt
Exercise-induced increases in blood somatotropin (hGH) have always been considered in terms of quantity of the circulating molecules. Knowing that the hypophysis can release several GH species, we investigated the differential release in blood of total hGH (hGHT) and the main hGH variant (hGH20K) molecules in six trained male swimmers exposed to three different conditions known to favor GH release in blood: 45...
