Key Findings
- Thymogen treatment improved hypotrophy symptoms in pigs
- The peptide stimulated both central and peripheral immune functions
- Positive effects were still observed 230 days after treatment
Practical Outcomes
- The results hint that thymogen might support muscle health through immune modulation, but the evidence is only in pigs. Biohackers should wait for human trials before adding it to protocols, and any use would be experimental and should consider safety and dosing uncertainties.
Summary
A study gave the synthetic peptide thymogen to pigs that were losing muscle and found it helped improve their condition by boosting the immune system, and the benefit lasted for many months.
Abstract
Administration of the synthetic thymic peptide-thymogen to the pigs with symptoms of hypotrophy exerted a positive effect on the course of this pathological condition this resulting from the stimulation of the central and peripheral parts of the immunogenesis. 230 days after the treatment the positive effect still persisted.
