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.

    Summary · context
    In this study we have used de novo and homology-based protein modelling to elucidate the putative structure of humanin in red-eared sliders as well as an ELISA and western immunoblotting to confirm the protein abundance in the turtle brain and six peripheral tissues during control, 5 h, and 20 h anoxia (n = 4/group).

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