In Korean cattle, thymosin beta‑4 gene expression was more than 2-fold higher in subcutaneous than in intramuscular adipose tissue.
In plain wordsIn Korean cattle, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 gene was more active in under-skin fat than in muscle fat.

The genes that displayed >2-fold higher expression in subcutaneous adipose tissues included secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine, annexin II, thyroid hormone receptor interactor 1, ferritin heavy chain polypeptide 1, cofilin, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase and thymosin beta 4.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
A SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression) method was used to identify functionally active genes in adipose tissues and to compare the global gene expression profile between the subcutaneous and the intramuscular adipose tissues in Korean cattle.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
