In diabetes-prone BB rats, serum thymosin alpha‑1 concentrations were higher in subline 1 (low diabetes risk) than in subline 2 (high diabetes risk).
In plain wordsIn rats, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 level was higher in the subline with low diabetes risk than in the high-risk subline.

mean concentrations of thymosin alpha 1 and beta 4 were higher in subline 1 (between 140% and 200% of levels in subline 2, P less than 0.01).
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Diabetes development was enhanced in the subline with a low intrinsic diabetes risk and suppressed in the subline with a high diabetes risk.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin alpha-1. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
