PEG-MGF is a PEGylated form of Mechano Growth Factor, a splice variant of IGF-1. The PEG modification extends its half-life significantly. It is studied for satellite cell activation and muscle repair post-exercise. Administered subcutaneously 3 times per week after exercise.
Protocol Overview
Compound PEG-MGF (PEG-MGF (PEGylated Mechano Growth Factor)) Category PEGylated Mechano Growth Factor Vial Size 2mg (2,000mcg) Reconstitution 2mL bacteriostatic water (1mg/mL) Route Subcutaneous injection Frequency 3 days/week
Reconstitution Instructions
Using 2mL of bacteriostatic water results in a concentration of 1mg/mL. Always use sterile techniques.
Materials Needed
2mg PEG-MGF 2mg vial (lyophilized powder) 2mL bacteriostatic water (sterile, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol) Sterile syringe and needle (18-22 gauge for drawing) Alcohol swabs Clean workspace
Step-by-Step Process
Preparation: Allow the PEG-MGF 2mg vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature. Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with an alcohol swab. Draw the Water: Using a sterile syringe, draw up exactly 2mL of bacteriostatic water. Expel any air bubbles. Inject into Vial: Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at a slight angle, aiming toward the glass wall. Slowly inject the water down the side of the vial to avoid foaming. Mix Gently: Remove the needle. Gently swirl or roll the vial between your hands. Do not shake vigorously. Check for Clarity: The solution should be clear once fully reconstituted. Do not use if cloudy.
