PEG-MGF, or PEGylated Mechano Growth Factor, is a new and innovative form of the IGF produced by a frame shift if the IGF gene, namely Mechano Growth Factor, which is PEGylated to improve stability that outperforms natural MGF many times over. 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. Research has shown that PEG-MGF helps increase the muscle stem cell count, so that more may fuse and become part of adult muscle cells.
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. Neurological research has shown that utilizing PEGylated MGF resulted in a longer more stable acting version of the MGF peptide in serum/blood.
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) exhibits local effects in skeletal muscle and without cannot travel through the body without modification.
What’s does it do?
The problem with synthetic Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is that it is introduced intramuscularly and is water based so it goes into the blood stream. When used this way, Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) only remains stable in the blood stream for a few minutes. Biologically produced MGF is made locally and does not enter the bloodstream. It is also short acting, so stability is not an issue. By PEGylating the Mechano Growth factor (MGF) it is almost as efficient as local produced Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) when used intramuscularly. This is accomplished by surrounding part of the peptide with a structure of polyethylene glycol, which can be attached to a protein molecule.
The polyethylene glycol groups protect the peptide but do not surround it completely. The active sites of the peptide are still free to do their biological function. In this case the shell is a negative charged shield against positively charged compounds that would affect the protein
Recently peg-mgf has gained a lot of popularity due to its various benefits. Not only does it help in adding new muscle growth, but it also helps cure few muscle disorders. As it helps in strengthening bones too you can also use it for bone-related diseases.
PEG-MGF results are quite fascinating. It produces new muscle fibers and helps to stimulate growth in affected areas. It may also promote the retention of nitrogen in muscle fibers while increasing protein synthesis.
This peptide can be very helpful to bodybuilders as they help in creating new muscle tissues, which in turn would increase the total muscle mass of the body.
Here are a few benefits of PEG-MGF:
- Promotion Of Skeletal Muscle – Research has found that when MGF is injected directly into the muscle it helps to protect it. In doing so it decreases the expression of some specific inflammatory hormones and lowers the oxidation stress.
- Anti-aging Benefits and Fat Metabolism – This happens when MGF stimulates the IGF-1 receptors which lead to decrease aging and an increase in lean body mass. Along with that, it poses a significant role in fat metabolism.
- Heart Muscle Repair – MGF inhibits apoptosis that cardiac muscle cells go through after hypoxia. MGF helps in the recruitment of the cardiac stem cells to the injured site, and it may help to heal the heart after a heart attack.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MGF AND PEG-MGF:
Many people come across the GHRP 2 vs GHRP 6 dilemma. What is the distinction between these two? The main difference between IGF-1 derived PEG-MGF and MGF is that the latter stimulates myoblasts through the stimulation of different receptors. Whereas PEG-MGF increases the muscle stem cell count so that many more cells fuse and become a part of adult muscles.
