Abstract
Serum glutamic-oxalacetic transamlnase (SGOT) was determined in trained and untrained men after exposure to exercise in the Harvard Step Test or timed track events. The untrained human subjects exhibited a significant decrease in SGOT (19.9 [mu]g/ml to 10.6 [mu]g/ml) after the Harvard Step Test. Athletes competing in timed track events also showed decreased serum transaminase titers (20.8 [mu]g/ml to 12.2 [mu]g/ml). Well-trained athletes did not show this difference following the same exercise. The adrenal cortex hormone(s) may be implicated in SGOT changes observed in trained men competing in time trials, but apparently not in those in untrained men.Keywords
