tb-500
TB-500 is a synthetic version of thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide involved in tissue repair and regeneration. It promotes healing of injuries, reduces inflammation, and is popular among athletes for accelerating recovery.
Lab Notes — Research Studies
01 Simultaneous quantification of TB-500 and its metabolites by UHPLC-Q-Exactive orbitrap MS/MS
Study found that the metabolite Ac-LKKTE plays a more significant role in wound healing than TB-500 itself.
View Study ((ScienceDirect))02 Investigation of in vitro/ex vivo TB-500 metabolism synthesis of relevant metabolites
Research identified how TB-500 is metabolized in humans and horses, establishing detection methods for doping control.
View Study ((Ghent University))03 Doping control analysis of TB-500 in equine urine and plasma by LC-MS
Method developed to detect TB-500 misuse in horses, representing the first doping control research for equine sports.
View Study ((ScienceDirect))04 Thymosin Beta-4 accelerates wound healing
Study demonstrated that TB-500 significantly speeds healing by stimulating collagen production and cell migration.
