Mean 11-hour GH concentrations increased in the caloric restriction plus exercise (CR + EX) and low-calorie diet (LCD) groups.
Incorporating exercise with caloric restriction may enhance GH levels.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Mean 11 h GH concentrations were not changed in CR or control but increased in CR + EX (P < 0.0001) and LCD (P < 0.0001).
