In one pair of monozygotic twins, the twin with more than 30 years of endurance training had greater muscle IGF1Ec (MGF) mRNA expression than the untrained twin.
In plain wordsIn one pair of identical twins, the long-time trainer had more of the body's own IGF1Ec (MGF) mRNA in muscle than the untrained twin.

One pair of male MZ twins (age = 52 years; Trained Twin, TT; Untrained Twin, UT) underwent analyses of: (1) anthropometric characteristics and blood profiles, (2) markers of cardiovascular and pulmonary health, and (3) skeletal muscle size, strength, and power and molecular markers of muscle health.
To enhance the understanding of heritability/adaptability, we explored the skeletal muscle health and physiological performance of monozygotic (MZ) twins with > 30 years of chronic endurance training vs. no specific/consistent exercise.
This result measures the body's own MGF / PEG-MGF. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
