Results from this study1

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

Natural levels measured1

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.

    In patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis, plasma levels of the body's own DSIP were increased compared with healthy controls.

    In plain wordsHigher levels of the body's own DSIP in blood were linked to chronic hemodialysis compared with healthy controls.
