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.

  1. 01LabEndogenous levelIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, hepatocyte growth factor treatment increased expression of thymosin beta4 compared with control cells.

    In plain wordsIn cells, hepatocyte growth factor raised the cells' own thymosin beta4 expression compared with untreated control cells.

    Summary
    In this study, thymosin beta4 was found to be differentially expressed in HGF-treated HUVECs compared with control.

    Summary · context
    To identify genes regulated via HGF signaling in HUVECs, we used the differential display polymerase chain reaction.

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