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.

    In human thymus, TE-4-reactive endocrine epithelium contained thymosin alpha‑1 and keratin.

    In plain wordsIn human thymus tissue, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 was present in the endocrine epithelial cells.
