Studied effects
- muscle growth
- recovery
- fat metabolism
- tissue repair
- GH axis
Mechanism
Binds IGF-1R with high affinity, activating PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways promoting protein synthesis, satellite cell activation, and glucose uptake. Much shorter half-life (~15 min) than the LR3 analog (~20-30 hr) due to binding protein interactions.
