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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone4

In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

  1. 01AnimalNot a test of MGF / PEG-MGF aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In an animal study, intramuscular injection of IGF-1-X10 plasmid DNA induced expression of IGF-1 Ea and IGF-1 Ec and produced functional IGF-1 protein.

    In plain wordsIn animals, injecting the plasmid into muscle made both IGF-1 forms and working IGF-1 protein.

    Summary
    In an animal study, intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA comprising IGF-1-X10 induced the expression of IGF-1 Ea and IGF-1 Ec, leading to the production of functional IGF-1 protein.

    In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

    Finally, the efficacy of this plasmid DNA was tested in a cardiotoxin (CTX)-mediated muscle injury model and age-related muscle atrophy model.

    In this study, MGF / PEG-MGF was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking MGF / PEG-MGF.

  3. 03AnimalNot a test of MGF / PEG-MGF aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In both muscle injury and age-related atrophy models, IGF-1-X10 plasmid DNA controlled several key factors of the muscle atrophy program; the abstract gives no direction.
