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 rabbit, thymosin beta‑4 is replaced by a variant, thymosin beta ala4, with alanine in place of serine at the blocked NH2-terminus.

    Summary
    In the rabbit, thymosin beta 4 is replaced by a variant, thymosin beta ala4, that contains alanine in place of serine at the blocked NH2-terminus.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

  2. 02AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Other

    In tissues from mammals other than rabbit, the quantities of thymosin beta 10 are only one-third to one-tenth those of thymosin beta‑4.

    In plain wordsIn mammals other than rabbit, tissues hold much more of the body's own thymosin beta‑4 than thymosin beta 10.

    Summary
    compared to tissues from other mammals where the quantities of thymosin beta 10 are only one-third to one-tenth those of thymosin beta 4.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
