In order to investigate the effect of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) elevations on growth
hormone (GH) secretion in humans, paired physical exercise (ph. e.) tests were performed in
nine untrained healthy volunteers of both sexes. Ph. e. tests were accomplished on a bycicle
ergometer under a moderate work load (450 kpm/min× 40 min). On one of two test days,
subjects were given 60 gr of a soy bean oil emulsion (Intralipid) 3 hr before, followed by two
50 mg heparin bolus injection, administered 10 min before and 15 min after the start of the …
