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 rhesus monkey fetuses, in utero thymectomy did not change plasma thymosin alpha‑1 concentrations compared with intact controls.

    In plain wordsIn monkeys, removing the fetal thymus did not change the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 levels in plasma compared with intact controls.

    Summary · context
    We report that fetal thymectomy inhibits oogenesis and induces abnormal ovarian differentiation in rhesus monkeys.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin alpha-1. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
