Role of growth hormone in lipid mobilization stimulated by prolonged muscular exercise in the rat.
The effects of prolonged muscular exercise (swim in tepid water for 60 min) on blood glucose, plasma FFA and R-GH were studied in a group of normal rats and the effect on blood glucose and plasma FFA in a group of hypophysectomized rats. The data obtained showed that, whereas in normal rats plasma FFA rose after muscular exercise, plasma R-GH fell sharply. In Hypophysectomized rats, however, muscular exercise did not increase plasma FFA levels.
