One thing that is still open after LipidDoc_ATL’s answer:
What would you measure differently if you were starting again?
Dr.EndoIndy said:The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either.
This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.
Happy to go further on any of that.
OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.
Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
Trusted third-party HPLC & mass spectrometry analysis. Verify peptide purity with the lab the community relies on. Independent. Accurate. Transparent.
Verify Your PeptidesEst. 1998. The synthesis house behind the vials you send for testing. ISO 9001 and cGMP certified, 1,500+ staff, batch-specific COA with every order.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it.
Coming back to something from earlier in the thread, because it keeps being talked past:
Pushing back on the consensus forming here. Consistency is not the same as correctness, and a board that agrees with itself quickly is usually agreeing with the first person who sounded certain.
If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.
