Results from this study3

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 levelRandomized controlled trialOther

    In patients with vascular dementia, hyperbaric oxygen therapy increased serum humanin levels versus conventional treatment alone.

    In plain wordsIn people with vascular dementia, hyperbaric oxygen raised the body's own humanin levels in blood, compared with conventional treatment alone.

    Summary
    After treatment, compared with the control group, the MMSE scores and serum Humanin levels in the HBO group were significantly increased (p < 0.05).

    Summary · context
    A total of 158 patients with VD were prospectively included in the study and were randomly divided into control group and HBO group.
    Summary · context
    The control group was given conventional treatment and the HBO group was treated with HBO in addition to conventional treatment.

    This result measures the body's own Humanin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

  2. 02HumanEndogenous levelRandomized controlled trialOther

    In patients with vascular dementia, serum humanin levels were positively correlated with MMSE scores, independent of baseline characteristics.

    In plain wordsIn people with vascular dementia, higher natural humanin levels in blood were linked to higher memory test scores.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Humanin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Humanin.

    In patients with vascular dementia, hyperbaric oxygen therapy increased MMSE scores versus conventional treatment alone.

    In plain wordsIn people with vascular dementia, hyperbaric oxygen improved memory test scores compared with conventional treatment alone. This result is about oxygen therapy, not humanin.
