No age-related differences were observed in mRNA expression of IGF-1Ea, MGF, MyoD1 and HGF with retraining
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Retraining consisted of 4 weeks of supervised resistive exercise in 9 older (OM: mean age) 67.3, range 61-74 yrs) and 11 young (YM: mean age 24.4, range 21-30 yrs) males.
This result measures the body's own MGF / PEG-MGF. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
