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 levelObservational studyMechanism

    In adults after orthognathic surgery, masseter muscle MGF mRNA was higher 6 months after surgery than before surgery.

    In plain wordsIn adults after jaw surgery, the body's own MGF gene activity in the jaw muscle was higher 6 months later.
