  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In hypercholesterolemic rabbits, erythrocyte lipid levels decreased after thymosin alpha‑1 injection.

    In plain wordsIn rabbits with high cholesterol, thymosin alpha‑1 injection lowered fat levels in red blood cells.

    Summary
    The erythrocyte lipid levels decreased, whereas the erythrocyte membrane (Na+, K+)ATPase activity increased significantly in these rabbits after thymosin alpha-1 injection.

    Summary · context
    In this present study, we examined the effects of thymosin alpha-1 on plasma and erythrocyte lipid levels and the changes in erythrocyte membrane (Na+, K+)ATPase activity in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In hypercholesterolemic rabbits, erythrocyte membrane (Na+, K+)ATPase activity increased significantly after thymosin alpha‑1 injection.

    In plain wordsIn rabbits with high cholesterol, thymosin alpha‑1 injection raised the activity of a membrane enzyme in red blood cells.
