- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main endpoint of the study is the GH-concentration after ingestion of<br /><br>placebo and protein. This is determined by blood-sampling. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The second study endpoint is the insulin-concentration after ingestion of<br /><br>placebo and protein. This is determined by blood-sampling.<br /><br>Another endpoint is the correlation between the effect of standard clinical<br /><br>GHST and the protein-drink on GH-secretion.<br /><br>Correlation between the amount of visceral fat mass (estimated with DXA) and<br /><br>the GH concentrations after standard clinical GHST and protein-drink. </p><br>
