| Virtually identical to bovine somatotropin, a naturally occurring protein hormone in cows. |
|
| Would the minister confirm that no Canadian can consume dairy products from cows treated with the synthetic hormone somatotropin? |
|
| During sleep, is produced mostly somatotropin. |
|
| This is evidence that, at least in very high doses, some somatotropin can be absorbed intact and can produce a biologic effect with the risk of immunologic adverse events such as allergy. |
|
| Exogenous human somatotropin is presently being studied for the treatment of intractable heart failure, and delaying the effects of aging, especially in muscle. |
|
| Will the Minister of Agriculture commit to holding a public debate on the use of bovine somatotropin before it is allowed, should the study conducted by his department result in the licensing of this hormone? |
|
| We learned recently that last year, on at least three occasions, Canadian customs officer stopped individuals trying to bring into the country hundreds of syringes containing bovine somatotropin. |
|
| In high doses, glucocorticoids also decrease the response to somatotropin. |
|
| The absence of somatotropin in physiologic amounts leads to dwarfism. |
|
| Roller cited an overturned Vermont law requiring dairy farmers to disclose use of recombinant bovine somatotropin in producing milk products. |
|
| The government must stop dragging its heels and extend the moratorium on somatotropin so that the interests of consumers will be protected in the future. |
|
| These three scientists, who have doctorate degrees, told us that they were fired or shelved because they blew the whistle on bovine somatotropin, while their managers were adamant that they should not talk about this issue. |
|
| Cows are injected with Bovine Somatotropin, a growth hormone that forces their udders to overproduce milk. |
