Popis: International audience; Growth hormones (GH, somatotropins ST) exhibit numerous biological effects associated with growth functions. Recombinant GH (rGH) are produced in large quantities and widely used outside Europe to stimulate milk production and as a general growth promoter in meat producing animals. The use of this molecule in animal production is strictly regulated by food safety directives in force. The control of its potential misuse constitutes an analytical challenge which many laboratories have attempted to tackle over the last 15 years. Two strategies can be considered to demonstrate somatotropin treatment to animals, based either on direct or indirect methodologies. Direct methods are focused on the analysis of somatotropin itself, while indirect methods are based on the detection of biological biomarkers with concentrations dependant on ST. Recently, the detection of antibodies produced by the animal after treatment has shown promising results for screening the abuse. In the same time, the challenge of rGH monitoring in biological matrices by means of mass spectrometry has been overcome thanks to the development of efficient purification procedure combined with the use of last MS generation instruments. This presentation overviews the different strategies for the control of GH misuse, focusing on the more recent and promising ones.
