Popis: The effect of an acute physical stress on hormone secretions before and after a 10-day naltrexone treatment in untrained healthy and amenorrheic women was investigated. Plasma levels of pituitary (LH, FSH, prolactin, GH, ACTH, gB-endor-phin) and adrenal (Cortisol, androstenedione, testosterone) hormones were measured at rest and in response to 60 min of physical exercise. The test was done both before and after a 10-day naltrexone (50 mg/day) treatment. Graded levels of treadmill exercise (50, 70 and 90% of maximal oxygen uptake (V02) every 20 min) was used as physical stressor. While mean ± SE plasma LH levels in control women were higher than in amenorrheic patients and increased following the naltrexone treatment (p
