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 pigs given porcine somatotropin, concentrations of the body's own thymosin beta‑4 rose with the dose of porcine somatotropin.

    In plain wordsIn pigs given a growth hormone, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 levels in blood rose as the growth hormone dose rose.

    Summary · context
    Male and female hogs (78 boars, 90 gilts) representing three genetic lines (lean, obese, and crossbred meat type) received 0, 2, or 4 mg of recombinant pST/d via implant for 42 d.
    Summary · context
    Blood samples were collected on 0, 7, 14, 28, and 42 d of the trial for changes in pST, IGF-I, IGF-II, thymosin beta 4, dehydroepiandrosterone/dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA/DHEASO4), and testosterone concentrations.

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