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 calf thymus tissue, thymocytes and thymocyte supernatants contained the body's own thymosin alpha‑1, as determined by isoelectric focusing and reverse-phase HPLC.

    In plain wordsIn calf thymus cells, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 was found in cell extracts and in the surrounding fluid.
