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. 01HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyMechanism

    In psoriasis patients, plasma concentrations of thymosin beta‑4 were increased compared with healthy donors.

    In plain wordsIn people with psoriasis, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 was linked to higher blood levels than in healthy donors.

    Summary
    Among the increased proteins and peptides were thymosin beta 4, talin 1, actin gamma, filamin, and profilin.

    Summary · context
    One intriguing finding, increased concentrations of cytoskeletal and actin-binding proteins and their peptides in psoriatic plasma, suggested disease-related cell leakage of these proteins and their increased proteolysis.
    Summary · context
    We used 2 proteomic methods to analyze plasma samples from 20 psoriasis patients and 20 matched healthy donors.

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