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.

    In AKR mice, growth of spontaneous and transplanted T-cell lymphomas was associated with marked elevations of serum immunoreactive thymosin alpha‑1.

    In plain wordsIn mice with T-cell lymphoma, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 in blood was much higher.

    Summary
    Growth of murine spontaneous and transplanted AKR T-cell lymphomas results in marked elevations of serum immunoreactive thymosin alpha 1.

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

    In mice, growth of a B-cell lymphoma did not raise serum immunoreactive thymosin alpha‑1.

    In plain wordsIn mice with B-cell lymphoma, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 in blood did not rise.

    Summary
    Growth of a B-cell lymphoma does not generate elevated immunoreactive thymosin alpha 1 in the serum, thus, a thymosin alpha 1-like peptide is selectively associated with these T-cell lymphomas.

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

  3. 03AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In mice with T-cell lymphomas, the elevation of serum thymosin alpha‑1 was not mediated by the thymus and seemed to be directly associated with the tumor cells.

    In plain wordsIn mice, the rise in the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 seemed linked to the tumor cells, not to the thymus.

    Summary
    This elevation, however, is not mediated by the thymus but rather, seems to be directly associated with the tumor cells.

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