Regeneration vs. Stat Loss?

[LackofCertainty]

Does a character's regeneration rate determine how fast they recover stats?

My current TrMo has level 2 degeneration mutation. ("Your body is deteriorating.") The wiki told me that this will eventually result in stat zero, but it seems that my troll has recovered all his stats back to full. (despite brain worms helping his deterioration along) Is this just a lucky fluke, or does high regeneration mitigate stat loss?

No. Except for the "slow healing" mutation, which does.

The wiki lied. It has a tendency to do that.
