This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Primary Endpoint
  • Inflammation resolution, tissue repair velocity
  • Capillary density, mitochondrial enzyme activity, lactate clearance
  • Endurance models require multi-week observation windows. Acute endpoints don't capture adaptation
  • Washout Period
  • 24–48 hours sufficient if measuring wound closure
  • 72–96 hours minimum for acute performance; 4–6 weeks for structural endpoints
  • Plasma half-life doesn't predict tissue-level mechanism persistence
  • Dose Range
  • 200–500 mcg/kg shows consistent response
  • 200–300 mcg/kg likely sufficient; higher doses don't proportionally increase angiogenesis
  • Dose-response plateaus at receptor saturation. More isn't better
  • Subject Variability
  • Lower. Injury severity standardizable
  • Higher. Baseline training status significantly affects response
  • Stratify by VO2 max or training history to reduce variance
  • Mechanism Timeline
  • Days to 2 weeks
  • Weeks to months. Signaling initiates during dosing, remodeling occurs post-cessation
  • Don't measure structural adaptation until 4+ weeks after final dose
  • Storage Sensitivity
  • Moderate. Single-use reconstitution common
  • High. Multi-month studies require staggered reconstitution and cold chain monitoring
  • Temperature excursion ruins an entire batch. Log fridge temps daily
