- Growth Hormone (GH), Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs), Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), Mechano Growth Factors (MGFs), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Vascular-Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) as well as any other growth factor affecting muscle, tendon or ligament protein synthesis/degradation, vascularisation, energy utilization, regenerative capacity or fibre type switching
Aah now I see Barkly's argument
AOD-9604 meets the S2 tests - I think the balance of probabilities would suggest it is a growth factor which affects one of more of the above (muscle, protein synthesis, energy utilisation, regenerative capacity) and it meets the similar chemical structure test as it is a fragment of GH and some of the biological properties appear similar.
If ASADA cleared it under S2 they are seriously stupid.
