Abstract:
:Eleven unfit bank executives in sedentary employment exercised daily for 10 weeks according to the Canadian Air-Force 5BX Exercise Programme. Over this period no changes were observed in the glucose or insulin responses to a standard breakfast or to intravenous glucose, or in the glucose response to intravenous insulin. There was a significant reduction in high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, but total plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels were unaffected by exercise.

杂志文章abstract::Three sensitive assays (Behring, Organon and LKB-Pharmacia) for measurement of serum thyrotropin (TSH) were evaluated. All three assays showed good precision, sensitivity, linearity and for practical purposes negligible high dose hook effects. The correlations between the assays were excellent, but due to standardisat...
