I just picked up ........

[madman]

90IU's of Protropin in the form of three 30IU vials. I already reconstituded one and will take my first 2/10 of a cc in the morning.

Um... I personaly would not use that stuff... Genentechs protropin is made of the 192 amino acid variant of the original 191 amino acid (Normal GH thats in your body). You shouldnt use this as it has been documented that two thirds of 54 children who had the drug administered to them to treat dawrfism developed antibodies to Growth hormone... not just the stuff that you are injecting (the 192 amino) but also your natural HGH (191 amino acid). Might be somthign to consider. Why not just use the 191 amino... IE... normal GH

The study I read was done on 26000 human subject and only 5 people out of the whole group developed the antibodies. It may have been more prevalent in the children, not arguing that. The last time I checked I wasn't a a child suffering from dwarfism; who already had a problem with GH production in the first place.

Here is an excerpt from the study:

In some cases when binding capacity exceeds 2 mg/L, growth attenuation has been observed. In clinical studies and postmarketing experience of patients treated with Protropin, approximately 0.4 percent of patients screened for antibody production developed antibodies with binding capacities >2 mg/L at six months. Out of approximately 26,000 patients who have been treated with Protropin, 5 patients have had growth deceleration associated with binding capacities >2 mg/L. If growth deceleration is observed that is not attributable to another cause, the patient should be tested for antibodies to growth hormone. Although no evidence exists to indicate that the methionine on the N-terminus of somatrem causes antibodies to growth hormone, the physician should consider transferring the patient to somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection, if a patient has antibody binding capacity >2 mg/L, and has exhibited growth attenuation.

In addition to an evaluation of compliance with the prescribed treatment program and thyroid status, testing for antibodies to human growth hormone should be carried out in any patient who fails to respond to therapy.


So in other words I think I'll use this 90IU and order my Kexing kits as planned.
