Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

But studied these two dramatically, thymusin alpha-1 and thymusin beta-4.

The French came up with the actual main thymus hormone, which is thymulin, not thymolin.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Thymolin is the Russian polypeptide mix.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Thymulin is a 9-amino acid compound.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

that is the marker of thymus function.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

It also has very interesting neurological effects, which I think you'll find interesting because it modulates...

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

The what we're calling the thymus pituitary adrenal axis, the thymus pituitary gonadal axis.

Thymulin is this peptide that's secreted by thymus, dramatically decreases with age, zinc dependent.

So biology likes to use metals with different amino acid structures, hemoglobin with iron, GHK copper with copper.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Thymulin is zinc dependent.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So it's a nine amino acid peptide with zinc inside of it.

Huberman Lab

to do its effects.

That will develop NK cells and T cells, stimulate the immune response.

Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

But also in the animal models, not replicated in humans yet, when they take out the pituitary and then inject, you know, ACTH or ACG, the amount of thymulin sensitizes the end organ to production of the targeted hormone.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

For example, if you were to give ACG alone to the animal... HCG.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yeah, ACG.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Synthetic luteinizing hormone.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yes, yes, yes.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Essentially.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

It's called the ACGLH receptor.
