When results may show

MGF

Evidence gap
When change was measured
This experiment did not reproduce the claimed MGF effects on muscle-cell proliferation and differentiation.
When to assess
Laboratory proliferation and differentiation assays
Conditions and limitations
Myoblast cultures and primary mouse muscle stem cells. Exercise-induced MGF gene expression is not evidence for injected synthetic MGF. No human timing or course is established.
When to stop
The measured study window is not a validated personal quit rule. Do not increase or prolong exposure because an expected result is absent; severe or persistent reactions need prompt clinical review.

Research timing is descriptive, not a promise or personal instruction. A severe or persistent reaction needs prompt clinical review. This is not medical advice.

Modelled level — every other day

1× is the peak after a single dose.

Steady-state peak
0.97× single dose

Read off the modelled curve, not an even-interval formula

Time to steady state
