In rats, 5 and 10 sessions of eccentric exercise both increased natural MGF mRNA expression in gastrocnemius muscle compared with period-matched controls.
In plain wordsIn rats, repeated exercise raised the body's own MGF mRNA in leg muscle compared with resting controls.

The expression of MGF mRNA in both ECC5S and ECC10S were significantly higher than that in each period-matched control (p < 0.01).

Male Wistar rats (n = 24) were randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 groups: eccentric exercise (ECC) group or sham-operated control (CON) group.
Rats in the ECC group were trained every second day for 10 days (5 sessions in total) or 20 days (10 sessions in total).
This result measures the body's own MGF / PEG-MGF. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
