Research Excerpts

Overview

BPC 157 is a stable gastric pentadecapeptide recently implicated with a role in hemostasis. It is proven in clinical trials to be both safe in inflammatory bowel disease (PL-10, PLD-116, PL 14736) and wound healing.

Effects

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"BPC 157 also has an effect on blood vessels, resulting in vessel recruitment that circumvents vessel occlusion and the development of additional shunting and rapid bypass loops to rapidly reestablish the integrity of blood flow (ischemic/reperfusion colitis, duodenal lesions, cecal perforation, and inferior vena caval occlusion)."( Stable Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC 157, Robert's Stomach Cytoprotection/Adaptive Cytoprotection/Organoprotection, and Selye's Stress Coping Response: Progress, Achievements, and the Future.

Treatment

BPC 157 treatment significantly reduced both plasma extravasation, histological alterations and alveolar bone resorption. BPC 157 pretreatment significantly prevented mastocyte infiltration at 1 h.

Dosage Studied

The effect of im administration of BPC 157 is better than that of ig. After t he initial application of the amphetamine, the higher B PC 157 dosage apparently attenuated the stereotyped behavior. The lower dosage did not reach a statistical significance. BPC157 (10 ng/kg) caused a significant antagonism of general anaesthesia.
