Results from this study2

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Thymosin beta-4 (human).

  1. 01LabNot a test of Thymosin beta-4 (human) aloneEx vivo tissueMechanism

    In kidney cortex homogenates with added thymosin-beta4, Ac-SDKP was generated in a time-dependent manner.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on kidney tissue, adding thymosin-beta4 led to the peptide Ac-SDKP forming over time.

  2. 02LabNot a test of Thymosin beta-4 (human) aloneEx vivo tissueMechanism

    In kidney cortex homogenates, prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors significantly reduced Ac-SDKP generation from thymosin-beta4.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on kidney tissue, prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors reduced how much Ac-SDKP formed from thymosin-beta4.
