This study was designed to compare the serum growth hormone (GH) response with quantified exercise to that obtained with other stimuli. In eight normal males, aged 21-24 yr, we studied the serum GH response to 20 min cycle ergometer exercise at 300, 600, and 900 kpm/min on three separate occasions and compared the results with those found during sleep, insulin hypoglycemia, arginine infusion, and L-DOPA. Exercise at 900 kpm/min and insulin hypoglycemia resulted in the greatest elevations in serum GH which were significantly greater than those found with sleep, arginine or L-DOPA. The 20-min exercise at 900 kpm/min represented 75-90% of the subjects' maximal oxygen uptake and is a suitable provocative test for GH secretion. As a screening test for pituitary GH reserve, exercise compares favorably with insulin hypoglycemia and is superior to sleep, arginine, and L-DOPA.
