Results from this study2

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

Natural levels measured2

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. 01HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In human wound fluid after abdominal surgery, Tbeta4 reached up to 20 mg/L and decreased to about 1 mg/L with time.

    In plain wordsIn wound fluid from people after abdominal surgery, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 was high at first and then fell with time.
