PEG-MGF
Pegylated Mechano Growth Factor
PEG-MGF is a pegylated variant of Mechano Growth Factor, an engineered form of IGF-1 designed for enhanced stability and prolonged action. The pegylation process extends the half-life from minutes to days, making it highly effective for muscle fiber hyperplasia, satellite cell activation, and accelerated muscle tissue repair. Unlike standard IGF-1, PEG-MGF specifically targets muscle-specific growth pathways with reduced systemic effects.

Dual Receptor Mechanism (GIP/GLP-1)
GLP-1 Receptor Pathway
- •Increases insulin secretion (glucose-dependent)
- •Suppresses glucagon release
- •Slows gastric emptying
- •Enhances satiety in hypothalamus
- •Preserves beta-cell function
GIP Receptor Pathway
- •Enhances insulin secretion (stronger than GLP-1)
- •Promotes fat oxidation
- •Improves insulin sensitivity in muscle
- •Reduces hepatic glucose production
- •Modulates adipose tissue metabolism
Why Dual Agonism is Superior
PEG-MGF functions as a localized muscle growth factor that activates satellite cells through IGF-1 receptor binding. The pegylation process extends the compound's half-life from 5-7 minutes (native MGF) to 24-72 hours, allowing sustained anabolic signaling. It specifically promotes muscle fiber hyperplasia (formation of new muscle fibers) rather than just hypertrophy, leading to more permanent muscle gains. The compound activates the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, enhancing protein synthesis while reducing protein breakdown.
