The responder rate comparison is equally telling
The rats treated with BPC 157 exhibited resolved tail spasticity by day 15 post-injury while the rats in the control group did not exhibit sustained spasticity until day 360 [3]
Its origin in gastric peptide research gives it a distinctive position in the peptide literature
Instead, it is studied through several overlapping marker systems, including angiogenesis, nitric oxide signalling, VEGF related markers, fibroblast migration, collagen organisation, tendon fibroblast activity, inflammatory mediators and gastrointestinal mucosal models
The peptide prevents scar tissue formation during muscle healing while accelerating functional recovery
