Results from this study5

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured5

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.

    In rats, natural humanin was expressed in the cytoplasm of oocytes, interstitial, granulosa and theca cells and in the corpus luteum.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the body's own humanin was found in several cell types of the ovary.

    Summary
    The immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical results confirmed that humanin was expressed in rat ovarian tissues. In addition, cellular localization analysis showed that humanin was expressed in the cytoplasm of oocytes, interstitial cells, granulosa cells and theca cells in all levels of follicle…
