Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of growth hormone during fasting in healthy lean men
Detailed Description:
During fasting the human body is known to metabolize relatively large amounts of fat in the expense of proteins and glucose Partly this shift in metabolism is caused by increasing GH secretion but exactly how growth hormone exerts these effects remains to be further investigated
10 healthy lean young men are studied at 4 different occasions in a randomized single-blinded cross-over study 1 after 12 hours of fasting GH bolus 2 after 36 hours of fasting GH bolus 3 after 36 hours saline 4 after 36 hours of fasting Somavert
Aim
to study the signal transduction in muscle and fat tissue
to study the metabolism during fasting
to study the intrahepatic fat content using magnetic resonance techniques
