Description:
MGF is a splice variant of the IGF gene which increases stem cell count in the muscle and allows for muscle fibers to fuse and mature. This is a process required for growth of adult muscle. Natural MGF is made locally and does not travel into the bloodstream. Synthetic MGF is water based and when administered intramuscularly, travels into the bloodstream. MGF is only stable in the blood stream for only a few minutes.
PEGylation is the act of attaching a Polyethylene glycol (PEG) structure to another larger molecule (in this case, MGF). The PEG acts as a protective coating and the theory here is that this will allow the MGF to be carried through the blood stream without being broken down.
Pegylated MGF is more bioavailable. Injected 2-3 times per week, it maintains effective concentration for a long period.
In bodybuilding this drug is used to accelerate muscle growth. Other effects of the drug include decrease of fat mass of the body, endurance increase, improvement of immune defenceand skin, bone strengthening, lowering of cholesterol level, accelerated recovery. Those who administered MGF declared that they experienced no side effects, which frequently occur with the use of other drugs for gaining body mass.
Application:
MGF has been used by bodybuilders and athletes for a few years already. After resistance exercise,IGF-1 is released within the muscle. Specifically, at this time, immediately following the mechanical use of a muscle, the IGF-I gene is spliced towards MGF which initiates hypertrophy and repair of local muscle damage. It does so both by activating muscle stem cells and satellite cells, but also via various other anabolic processes. (1) It differs from "regular" IGF-1 mainly due to it's C-Terminal sequenc.
MGF can initiate muscle satellite (stem) cell activation in addition to its IGF-Ireceptor domain which ithen in turn ncreases protein synthesis turnover, and therefore can if used correctly improve muscle mass over time.
Dosage:
The average dose is 1000 mcg per 24 hours; the frequency is 2-3 times per week. The drug is injected subcutaneously 1-2 hours before training to imitate physiologic secretion. The cycle duration is 5-6 weeks.
It is actually originally called MGF because the RNA form of it is expressed in muscle tissues in response to the overload or/and damage. The C-terminal peptide of the mechano factor (MGF) is a crucial region for the alternative splicing of the peptide. The alternative splicing in the MGF is brought about by the shift in the reading frame in which a specific C-terminal sequence (E-domain) is econded by exon 5 and the first part of the exon 6. Another interesting point in MGF is that, because of the E domain it contains, MGF can act on muscles independently from the rest of the molecule.
MGF is available as an injectable peptide, and it has been anecdotally shown that injecting it will cause a response in the area resulting in localized muscle growth.
It would also appear that with regards to age, the young have a better ability to respond to MGF (4), and that the elderly experience a decreased response to MGF which results in a decreased ability to stimulate the growth of new muscle tissue.
