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.

    In a man with inclusion body myositis, muscle MGF mRNA expression increased 3.97-fold after 12 weeks of resistance training with vascular occlusion.

    In plain wordsIn one man with inclusion body myositis, the body's own MGF level in muscle rose after 12 weeks of occlusion training.
