Acute amino acids supplementation enhances pituitary responsiveness in athletes
Article Abstract:
Research reveals that ingesting amino acids by athletes will enhance pituitary responsiveness to a stimulation test. Results are based on a study of 10 moderately trained men and topics include plasma, amino acids, growth hormones, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis..

A simple method for individual anaerobic threshold as predictor of max lactate steady state
Article Abstract:
This research uses a treadmill to measure the individual anaerobic threshold as a limit for endurance trainng. Its advantages include the method of choosing the anaerobic threshold being easily applicable and the lack of requiring reaching maximal effort.

Acetylsalicylic acid inhibits the pituitary response to exercise-related stress in humans
Article Abstract:
This article discusses the effect of exercise and aspirin on pituitary hormones, prostaglandins, and hypothalamus-pituitary activity. An analysis of cortisol, adrenocortical hormones, prolactin, and beta-endorphin is presented.
