Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

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.

    Colon adenocarcinoma and polyp tissues showed MGF peptide expression, which was not found in normal colon tissues.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests of tissue, colon cancer and polyp samples had the body's own MGF peptide. Normal colon tissue did not.

    Summary · context
    Near-infrared-emitting gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized and conjugated to MGF.
    Summary · context
    Following characterization and confirmation of conjugation, these AuNPs were used to investigate the expression of MGF in colon cancer cell lines (HT29 and SW620) and tissues comparing normal and colon cancer.

    This result measures the body's own MGF / PEG-MGF. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
