    Abstract:
    In 6 heart transplant patients (HTP) and in ten healthy subjects the influence of head out water immersion (WI) on blood levels of glucose, cortisol, somatotropic hormone (HGH) and prolactin was examined. Under baseline conditions. HTP showed similar blood levels of the above mentioned parameters as normals. After WI a significant increase of blood HGH but decrease of blood cortisol and prolactin were found in both examined groups. HTP differed from healthy subjects only by a less marked decline of blood cortisol induced by WI. Data obtained in this study suggest presence of a preserved physiological endocrine response of HTP to WI.
