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. 01AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Other

    In adult dogs given bovine growth hormone or bovine serum albumin, serum thymosin alpha‑1 concentrations did not differ between the groups.

    In plain wordsIn adult dogs, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 levels were similar with growth hormone and with the control treatment.
