This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • IGF-1
  • 7–14 days pre-admin
  • +5–15% (injury present)
  • +10–20% (injury present)
  • Return to baseline
  • No change if no active tissue damage. Not a GH secretagogue
  • IGFBP-3
  • +3–10%
  • +5–12%
  • Binding protein. Tracks with IGF-1, confirms growth axis involvement
  • TSH
  • No change
  • Stable or slight decrease
  • Stable
  • Elevation = thyroid axis strain from repair demands
  • Free T3
  • +3–8%
  • +5–10%
  • Peripheral conversion increase supports metabolic repair demands
  • CRP
  • −20–40%
  • −30–50%
  • Persistent elevation = inadequate dose or confounding inflammation
  • IL-6
  • −25–45%
  • −35–55%
  • More sensitive than CRP for acute anti-inflammatory effects
  • Cortisol (AM)
  • −10–20% (if elevated baseline)
  • −15–25% (if elevated baseline)
  • Flattening below range = HPA suppression. Reduce dose
  • VEGF
  • +15–30%
  • Peak ~+30–40%
  • Confirms angiogenic activity. No rise questions peptide potency
