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.

    Summary · context
    In a cohort of young adults born preterm (n=55) and age-matched term (n=54), we compared circulating levels of humanin.

  2. 02HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In young adults born preterm and at term, humanin levels were associated with left ventricle ejection fraction and peak global longitudinal strain.

    In plain wordsIn young adults, levels of the body's own humanin were linked to measures of heart pumping and strain.
