BPC-157: Body Protection Compound
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of body protection compound found in human gastric juice. Research has focused on its effects in gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurological tissue models.
Key research areas:
• Tendon and ligament repair models: BPC-157 has been studied for its effects on fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis in tendon injury models.
• Gastrointestinal protection: Extensive research in gastric ulcer and inflammatory bowel models.
• Angiogenesis: Studies suggest BPC-157 promotes formation of new blood vessels, which may contribute to its tissue repair properties.
• Neurological models: Research into dopaminergic and serotonergic system interactions.
