Results from this study4

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

Natural levels measured4

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.

    Summary
    Maturation of keratinocytes in the epidermis is paralleled by a decrease in the population of young thymalin-positive cells.

    This result measures the body's own Thymalin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
