EFFECT OF DIETARY POTASSIUM BICARBONATE--SERUM GROWTH HORMONE CONCENTRATION

在绝经后妇女中进行的研究，以确定长期饮食是否 KHCO3补充增加血清生长激素浓度。 将在正常夜间睡眠期间测量血清GH浓度， 并响应标准GH分泌刺激（生长输注） 激素钠darginine），前和期间KHCO3补充。 这些 评估将在每门学科两天的入学时间内进行， 间隔4周，共15例受试者。 这项研究将 在2年内使用GCRC。

Study done in post-menopausal women to determine whether prolonged dietary KHCO3 supplementation increases serum growth hormone concentrations. Serum GH concentrations will be measured during normal nocturnal sleep, and in response to standard GH secretory stimuli (infusion of growth hormone na darginine), pre- and during KHCO3 supplementation. These assessments will be made on two-day admissions per subject, separated by an interval of 4 weeks, for a total of 15 subjects. The study will utilize the GCRC over a period of 2 years.
