Brief Summary: This study will investigate whether growth hormone is modulated by the enzyme SIRT1 and by that is stimulating lipolysis on expense of IGF-I production This is done in 10 healthy men on calorie restriction on 4 study days with fat and skeletal muscle biopsies
Detailed Description: It has been shown that calorie restriction enhances the length of life in yeast worms fish and rodent Whether this elongation of life due to calorie restriction can be applied to humans is not known However it is a fact that calorie restriction will decrease the risk of developing metabolic disturbances such as diabetes hypertension and atherosclerosis

On the molecular level the specific relations are not fully understood This study will investigate the possible connection between SITR1 and the relation to the GHIGF-I axis and STAT5b in healthy men The participant will fast 42 and 12 hours respectively and have GH or placebo infusions The design is a classical 2x2 design and will be randomized

Knowledge of the interactions between calorie restriction SIRT1 STAT5b and the GHIGF-I axis will apply important information about the relations between aging energy metabolism and metabolic disturbances
