  • Title: [Physical exercise as a functional test of hgh secretion (author's transl)].
    Author: Ortega E, Ruiz E, Osorio C.
    Journal: Rev Esp Fisiol; 1977 Jun; 33(2):87-90. PubMed ID: 877385.
    Abstract:
    The efficiency of L-dopa and exercise tests have been compared to diagnose the lack of human growth hormone. Both tests gave similar results. The exercise test is recommended as a screening method in large populations to discard growth inhibition due to HGH deficiency, because of its easy, quick and painless application to patients.
