Results from this study3

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

Natural levels measured3

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. 01AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In normal rats, IGF-1Ec was expressed during postnatal brain development with a specific temporal distribution.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the body's own IGF-1Ec (MGF) was present in the developing brain at specific ages.

    Summary
    Both IGF-1Ea and IGF-1Ec are expressed during normal postnatal brain development, albeit with highly specific temporal distributions.
    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    We have identified specific changes in the expression patterns of these IGF-1 variants in brain development in normal rats and following neonatal hypoxia-ischaemia (HI).

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

  2. 02AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In neonatal rats, hypoxia-ischaemia produced increased and prolonged expression of the IGF-1Ec isoform only.

    In plain wordsIn rats, brain injury from low oxygen raised and prolonged the body's own IGF-1Ec (MGF) levels in the brain.

    Outcome
    IncreaseIGF-1Ec expression after neonatal hypoxia-ischaemia

    Summary
    In contrast, HI produced increased and prolonged expression of the IGF-1Ec isoform only.

  3. 03AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In neonatal rats, hypoxia alone also stimulated expression of IGF-1Ec.

    In plain wordsIn rats, low oxygen alone also raised the body's own IGF-1Ec (MGF) levels in the brain.

    IncreaseIGF-1Ec expression after hypoxia alone

    Summary
    Importantly, hypoxia alone stimulated the expression of IGF-1Ec as well.
