Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

  1. 01HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    Thymosin beta‑4 gene expression follows a pattern similar to but not identical with thymosin beta-10 during normal human neuroembryogenesis.

    In plain wordsIn developing human brain, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 gene is active in a pattern like thymosin beta-10, but not identical.

    Summary
    We now report the novel finding that thymosin beta-4, a structurally related 5-kDa actin-sequestering protein, is also subject to a similar but not identical pattern of expression during normal human neuroembryogenesis.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

  2. 02HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In adult human brain, thymosin beta‑4 mRNA levels were greatly reduced but still present.

    In plain wordsIn adult human brain, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 mRNA was much lower than in developing brain, but still present.

    Summary
    levels of thymosin beta-4 mRNA, although greatly reduced, were still present.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
