What MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is
IGF-1 splice variant produced locally in mechanically stressed muscle and studied in muscle-regeneration biology. It is also referred to as IGF-1Ec.
How it works
Locally expressed IGF-1 splice variant associated with satellite-cell activation and tissue remodeling.
What the evidence shows
Therapeutic human evidence is inadequate.
Evidence level: E — Experimental.
Routes studied: Experimental IM/SC research.
Doses studied: Only experimental MGF and PEG-MGF research protocols exist. There is no established human therapeutic dose.
