should the US eradicate the human consumption of the recombinant bovine growth hormone?

probably but exactly how would that be done?

Not sure who but they should be shot along with the inventers of artificial sweeteners. They cause many of the same problems plus a few more like cancer.

I wish more questions would be made about our food today. When I was a smoker I ate a lot but it wasn't all used by my body. Now I still eat too much and it get used fully. I am thinking that the appetite hormones given to animals in the processed protein meal food is coming down in the processed meat to our bodies. I can't do much about that except move to the wilderness. Food casts are very high in the wilderness. I am aware that I eat to find an emotional balance in my body chemistry. I skip breakfast but eat for the last eight hours way too much. I know sexual activity would remove much overeating but food is cheaper than sex.

actually i dont know. any way this type of habbit will destroy the future generation. then, some body may rise querry to oppose this one. however, this type of problem may rise in decrease of quality of healthy life.

An anabolic steroid intended for human use would have less impurities than one intended for animal use.  Animal drugs don't have to go through so many regulations, they are not as "clean".  As far as results (muscle hypertrophy) go after use, there is no difference.  Molecule is the same.  Most of the steroids that circulate illegally are intended for vet use.

Competition always makes for a better society.  Simply because people always are looking for cheaper, but better...and they usually get it.  \n\nProgress like I just mentioned has lead to transgenic foods...food that is genetically modified.  Americans are eating genetically modified foods faster than they can let their belts out.  Many countries in the world that have hunger problems won't readily accept genetically modified foods, no matter how fat Americans are getting from it.\n\nIn Africa for instance, genetically modified food sits and rots because the people think its poison.  Warehouses full of staples for preventing hunger.  Someone should go and educate these people.

no, in the us we just have very strict poultry handling standards and currently it can only be passed on by comming in contact with contaminated meat or excrement, if it changes to be able to transmit from human to human it will affect us

stop consuming animals

Your best answer to this is how old someone is.\n\nTeens and up to 25yr olds produce enough from the pituitary gland. It's only as we age pass this, does production slow down. It does'nt stop though - people who work out hard and regular show increased levels in comparison to others. \n\nThere is no evidence to date that if you supplement, then stop - your natural production will decrease further because of the 'un-natural' supplementation.\n\nWe looked into this with the rave drug 'xtasy' (MDA) and the release of serotonin - once again, the neurotransmitters regulated themselves. This was only one study though.\n\nI'm not a Phd - just someone with experience.

yes  its growth hormone.\nyou can try Seron

Keep in mind that HRT was based upon taken natural estrogens, tinkering with them slightly, in order to produce biologically unprecedented analogues that could be patented and granted exclusive rights, allowing for incredibly high profits. This was an experiment that went awefully wrong. It turned out that it caused greater risk for cancer, stroke and heart attack.  The real irony is that the natural estrogens they started from, like the kind in black cohosh or soy leaf, or in flaxmeal are safe and capable of protecting us from cancer....but being that Mother Nature holds no patents, no doctor was interested in recommending these heavily researched phytoestrogens.  Phytoestrogens are relatively weak, but are capable of blocking out the action of synthetic or endogenously produced powerful estrogens, which can cause unregulated cell division, and other side effects like weight gain, stroke, etc.  The other side of the coin, though is progesterone, a "master" or "mother" hormone that actually is converted into estrogen in the body, and is itself a good remedy for hot flash, unexplained weight gain, mood imbalance, week bones, etc......it is actually the only safe way to put unopposed estrogen in check. But, make sure you get it either from someone who practices bioidentical hormone testing and replacement, or a health food store where they have mexican yam derived progesterone which is bioidentical to the way you produce it.  If you need a good reference check out Christine Northrope's "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom." She covers all the bases quite well, and being that she is a Female, she understands far better than any man.

You're right, the information under Wikipedia's Growth Hormone Treatment section is very vague. However, it does tell you that the gene for the growth hormone is inserted into bacteria, which mass produce the protein.\n\nFrom that, we can surmise what you could potentially do to mass produce growth hormone.\n\nFirst, of all, you need the gene. That's simple. You get a bunch of pituitary cells and then create some primers that bind upstream and downstream of the actual gene.\n\nThese primers should consist of approximately 25 base nucleotides, and should bind before the gene and after the stop codon.\n\nYou then use PCR to amplify it up. That technique can be found in any old Molecular Biology textbook, though the Maniatis book (referenced below) is very good and detailed on this.\n\nNow the best thing to do next is to put your gene of choice into a plasmid (a circular piece of DNA) that expresses an antibiotic resistance gene, and right in front of a gene promoter that is always switched on (and obviously, one that forces the bacteria to produce vast quantities of the hormone).\n\nThat's very simple. Use a nuclease to cut your plasmid. (It's best to use two nucleases, to cut out a small section of the plasmid DNA out). Use the same nucleases to cut the ends of your extract gene (making sure the nuclease that cuts upstream of your extract DNA is also the same nuclease that cuts at the "upstream" part of your plasmid and vice versa). That means you have to find a nuclease that cuts at the right places, which may require a bit of searching.\n\nBecause both have been cut by the same enzyme, they'll have sticky ends that match. They'll anneal naturally and because you used the same enzyme to cut upstream of both plasmid and extract gene, the gene will anneal the right way round instead of backwards. (If it anneals backwards, the gene won't work). Use a DNA ligase to join up the backbone and voila, you've got a plasmid that should express antibiotic resistance and your hormone gene.\n\nTransform it into bacteria, possibly using heat shock. Select for the bacteria that express the antibiotic gene (as it should also express the growth hormone), by putting it on to an agar plate with the antibiotic in and lots of goodies and nutrients for the bacteria.\n\nOnly the ones with the plasmid will survive and they'll form little colonies on a plate. Now you've got to check that your plasmid contains the gene. After all, the insertion of your gene into the plasmid could have failed.\n\nThat's simple. All you have to do is take a little bit from a colony, break it open and use a pair of primers that bind at the 5' end and the 3' end of the gene, and do a PCR. If the gene is there, you'll get a product. If not, you won't.\n\nThen, you do a Western blot, to make sure the protein is actually being made. You could have skipped the above PCR step, but there was the chance that some rogue growth hormone could have infected your samples. Doing the PCR, shows you that any protein is there because the bacteria is making it from the gene you put into it, and not because it just happened to be on some of your apparatus.\n\nI'll refer you to the sources below, as a Western blot is a long detailed procedure that'll make this answer insanely long.\n\nAfter you've done that and proved to yourself that the bacteria has your gene and is making your protein, you grow it up in a huge vat full of nutrients. Siphon some off every now and then, and extract the protein.\n\nYou need do nothing more, except keep growing the bacteria, making sure it's always there and that the antibiotic selection is always on. If it isn't, the bacteria will eventually reject the plasmid, as it won't be of any use to it.\n\nThere you have it. It may not be the exact same protocol as what industry uses, but it will get you similar results.

I believe your friend.\nChicken & several other domestic animals are routinely fed hormones, steroids are made from hormones\nAlso other Growth builders, that we don't know about.  Including Human Sewage, in some places .\nIf I were you I'd give up eating animals, if you want to cut-out dangerous chemicals!

Its a genuine question; I suggest you to post ur question in google answers; u can get researched answers; remeber it is paid service. What I know about is it is produced by recombinant technique which word itself is self explanatory; meaning a complicated genetic process GH like proteins are made with the knowledge of its DNA structure. It has been used successfully in several conditions which can produce short stature. They are genetic short stature, Turners syndrome, Prader willi syndrome, Chronica renal failure. The subjects are shown to be better in height velocity and has achieved a target height height 50 th percentile in a significant number of cases. It is an injection through subcutaneous route; intermittent ie once in few weeks; and requires monitoring of height BP and some blood tests to look for side effects. No significant harm has been reported till now. You can get these details in medical text books like; Harrison's internal medicine; Nelson's text book of paediatrics and various books of endocrinology. For the website you can do a google search with key words Human Growth Hormone, Treatment with growth hormone, adverse effects Human growth hormones etc and select appropriate articles according to ur knowledge level..Look for emedicine article; if u r a medical professional u can look for pubmed article..

I myself use HGH.  I do not suffer from ANY side effects.  I have taken this product for a really long time and can only speak of what it has done for me.  IT IS GREAT.. for those of you who do not know, hgh stands for human growth hormone.  When you take the all natural hgh, it stimulates your pituitary gland to make your body produce more of its own natural hgh.  It is a great product and really sharpens your way of thinking.  I love it and will use it for the rest of my life.

Jordan is almost there! \n\nOK to really answer this question you have to come from 2 sides. They all work.\n\n1/ Un-natural\n\n- Safe, with a doctor monitoring you - Anabolic Steroids\n- Safe, with a doctor monitoring you - Human Growth Hormone\n- Safe, with a doctor monitoring you - Testosterone\n\n2/ Natural\n\n- Whey protein - basic building block (best one)\n- Creatine Monohydrate - a cell volumiser\n- Glutamine - replenishes amino acid stores / volumiser\n- L-Arginine - linked to natural release of growth hormone\n- Amino acids - building block\n\nThese all work

Normally, no, but genetic engineering is now creating strains that can produce of these hormones, antibodies and other useful chemicals.
