Results from this study6

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured6

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 developing rat cerebellum, thymosin beta‑4 and beta 10 mRNAs were expressed at highest levels in postmitotic, premigratory granule cells of the external granular layer early in postnatal development.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 mRNA was highest in young, not yet migrating granule cells of the cerebellum.
