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.

    HLE-B3 lens epithelial cells did not express IGF-1Ec (MGF), even in the presence of GH or DHT.

    In plain wordsIn human lens cells, the body's own MGF was not made, even when growth hormone or DHT was added.

    Summary · context
    The expression of the IGF-1 system was characterized in human HLE-B3 lens epithelium cells and the mitogenic activity of IGF-1 and synthetic E peptide and the effects of growth hormone (GH) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were examined, using qualitative real-time PCR, RT-PCR, Western blot analysis an…
