In Taiwan country chickens, thymosin beta4 transcripts were enriched in ovarian follicles of the low-egg-production strain B compared with the high-production strain L2.
In plain wordsIn chickens, the body's own thymosin beta4 transcripts were higher in follicles of the low egg-laying strain than in the high egg-laying strain.

Source sentences
We show that transcripts of cyclin B2 (cycB2), ferritin heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1), Gag-Pol polyprotein, thymosin beta4 (TB4) and elongation factor 1 alpha1 (EEF1A1) were enriched in B strain ovarian follicles.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Ovarian follicles were isolated from two strains of chicken which showed low (B) or high (L2) rates of egg production, then processed for RNA extraction and cDNA library construction.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
