Results from this study3

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

Natural levels measured3

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.

    The thymus from a patient with invasive malignant thymoma contained thymosin beta‑4 but no prothymosin alpha.

    In plain wordsIn one patient with invasive malignant thymoma, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 was found in thymus tissue.

    Summary
    However, the thymus from a patient with invasive malignant thymoma contained only thymosin beta 4, but no prothymosin alpha.

    Summary · context
    Employing biochemical isolation procedures, we have studied the concentration of two thymic hormones, prothymosin alpha and thymosin beta 4, in the thymus of three thymoma patients.

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

    The extract from benign thymoma contained thymosin beta‑4, similar to normal human thymus.

    In plain wordsIn benign thymoma tissue, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 was found, as in normal thymus.

    Summary
    Our results revealed that the extract from benign thymoma had both prothymosin alpha and thymosin beta 4, similar to normal human thymus.
