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. 01AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Other

    In swine with balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, plasma levels of the body's own thymosin beta‑4 rose in a time-dependent way during ischemia.

    In plain wordsIn pigs with a blocked heart artery, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 in blood rose over time during the blockage.

    Summary
    TB4, VEGF, and MMP-9 demonstrated a statistically significant, time-dependent increase in concentration during ischemia.

    Summary · context
    Fifteen anesthetized and instrumented domestic swine underwent balloon occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery.

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

  2. 02AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Other

    In swine, after cardiac arrest and during the first 15 minutes of resuscitation, the rise in plasma levels of the body's own thymosin beta‑4 accelerated compared with the ischemic period before arrest.

    In plain wordsIn pigs, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 in blood rose faster during resuscitation than during the blockage before cardiac arrest.

    Summary
    Following arrest and throughout the first 15 min of resuscitation, MMP-9 had an unchanged rate of rise when compared with the prearrest, ischemic period, with VEGF showing a deceleration in its time-dependent concentration trajectory and TB4 demonstrating an acceleration.
