MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)
The IGF-1 gene produces multiple isoforms by alternative splicing. IGF-1Ec is upregulated after mechanical muscle loading; the C-terminal E-domain is cleaved from the mature IGF-1 protein and appears to have independent effects on satellite cells. The exact receptor binding of the E-domain is not established; a classical IGF-1R effect is unlikely since mature IGF-1 is responsible. In cell-culture studies, stimulation of myoblast proliferation and differentiation has been observed.
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is an N-terminally modified 44-amino-acid version of human GHRH(1-44). A 3-hexenoyl modification protects against rapid dipeptidyl-peptidase-IV cleavage. Binding to the pituitary GHRH receptor stimulates endogenous pulsatile growth-hormone secretion and consequently hepatic IGF-1 production.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) and Tesamorelin?
- MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is classified as "Crescita", while Tesamorelin is classified as "Crescita". MGF (Mechano Growth Factor): Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal E-domain of the IGF-1 splice variant IGF-1Ec. Described in preclinical studies as a 'mechano-induced' skeletal muscle repair factor. No marketing approval; clinical use largely confined to the black market. Tesamorelin: Stabilised GHRH analog (growth-hormone-releasing hormone). FDA-approved in 2010 as Egrifta for reduction of abdominal lipohypertrophy in HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Not approved for the general population. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) or Tesamorelin?
- The highest available evidence level is "Modello animale" for MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) and "RCT sull'uomo" for Tesamorelin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) and Tesamorelin in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) — Non approvato, Tesamorelin — Non approvato. Stati Uniti: MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) — Non approvato, Tesamorelin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
