  • Title: Comparison of pituitary responses to physical exercise in athletes and sedentary subjects.
    Author: Rolandi E, Reggiani E, Franceschini R, Bavastro G, Messina V, Odaglia G, Barreca T.
    Journal: Horm Res; 1985; 21(4):209-13. PubMed ID: 3924810.
    Abstract:
    Serum growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), cortisol, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were evaluated before and after a bicycle ergometer exercise test in 8 male competitive volleyball players and in 8 sedentary healthy males of the same age. Increased serum GH and cortisol values after exercise in both groups were found, whereas an exercise-induced PRL release was observed in athletes only. Serum levels of LH, FSH and TSH were unaffected by the test in all subjects. A possible role of training in conditioning the hypothalamopituitary exercise-induced secretion is suggested.
