Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

  1. 01HumanEndogenous levelNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In able-bodied subjects, electromyostimulation-induced resistance exercise increased mechano-growth factor mRNA in vastus lateralis muscle.

    In plain wordsIn able-bodied people, stimulated muscle exercise raised the body's own MGF activity in muscle.

    Summary
    In AB subjects, the mRNA for mechano-growth factor was also increased.
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    Muscles of AB and SCI subjects were subjected to EMS-stimulated exercise in two 30-min bouts, separated by a 48-h rest.
    Summary · context
    Needle biopsy samples were obtained 24 h after the second exercise bout.

    This result measures the body's own MGF / PEG-MGF. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
