Key Findings
- Thymalin was administered intramuscularly at 1 mg/kg/day for five days
- The treatment boosted regeneration of the thymus in irradiated guinea pigs
- Several immune system markers returned toward normal levels after treatment
Practical Outcomes
- The result hints that thymalin could support immune recovery after severe stress like radiation, but it’s only an animal study. No human dosing or safety data exist, so biohackers should treat this as a preliminary insight and await more research before using it in real-world protocols.
Summary
Giving thymalin by injection (1 mg per kg body weight each day for five days) helped the thymus tissue repair and improved some immune measurements in guinea pigs that had been exposed to radiation.
Abstract
The intramuscular injection of thymaline (1 mg/kg/day during 5 days) enhanced the regenerative processes in the thymus and favored the normalization of some immunological indices of irradiated guinea pigs.
