Background/introduction: SUB:Pituitary – Clinical (Generously supported by IPSEN)We have previously shown that GH assessment during a standardized aerobic exercise of moderate intensity is a reliable test with high diagnostic accuracy in predicting severe GH deficiency (GHD) in adult individuals. However, these studies comprised comparably long exercise durations around 60 min or longer. To improve clinical applicability of exercise testing in the diagnosis of GH...

Introduction: Ectopic lipids are fuel stores in non-adipose tissues (i.e. skeletal muscle (IMCL), liver (IHCL), and heart (ICCL)). It is recognized that IMCL can be depleted by physical activity and repleted by dietary fat intake indicating metabolic flexibility. In contrast, preliminary data suggested that aerobic exercise increases IHCL. Data on the acute effect of aerobic exercise on ICCL is scarce.Increased IMCL and IHCL have consistently been relate...
