Results from this study3

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

Natural levels measured3

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
    Using PCR and immunohistochemistry, thymosin β4 mRNA and protein were found to be present in human foetal hearts.

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

    In human foetal hearts, thymosin β4 protein was primarily localised to endothelial cells.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on human foetal heart tissue, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 was mostly in blood vessel lining cells.

    In human foetal hearts, thymosin β4 protein was detected at higher levels in endothelial cells of the compact layer of the myocardium than in the trabecular layer.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on human foetal heart tissue, natural thymosin beta‑4 was higher in blood vessel cells of the outer heart muscle layer.
