Mechano Growth Factor

MGF (Mechano Growth Factor — IGF-1 Ec Peptide)

Description:
MGF, or Mechano Growth Factor, is a naturally occurring splice variant of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)expressed in muscle tissue following mechanical stress or damage. It plays a vital role in muscle repair, regeneration, and growth, making it a key focus in studies of cellular recovery, tissue regeneration, and anti-aging biology. MGF acts locally in muscle fibers to initiate satellite cell activation, aiding in the rapid recovery and adaptation of muscle tissue to stress.

Key Benefits:

• Promotes muscle regeneration and recovery after training or injury

• Stimulates satellite cell proliferation and differentiation

• Enhances protein synthesis and muscle fiber repair

• Supports lean mass development and strength research

• May assist in neuroprotection and tissue healing studies

Mechanism of Action:
MGF works by binding to IGF-1 receptors in skeletal muscle, activating pathways that stimulate satellite cell activation—the precursor cells responsible for muscle growth and repair. It differs from systemic IGF-1 in that MGF acts locally within the muscle tissue and has a shorter half-life, providing rapid response to muscle stress. Its upregulation following resistance training or mechanical load is part of the body’s natural anabolic repair mechanism, making it valuable for research into muscle adaptation and regenerative medicine.
