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 healthy controls, natural plasma DSIP levels correlated positively with impulsiveness on the EPQI scale.

    In plain wordsIn healthy controls, the body's own DSIP levels in blood were linked to higher impulsiveness.
