Gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 accelerates healing of transected rat Achilles tendon and in vitro stimulates tendocytes growth
A rat tendon-injury model and cultured tendon cells were used to investigate BPC-157. The authors reported changes in mechanical, functional, and tissue observations.
Study limitations
A surgically created rat injury is not a human clinical trial. This paper does not establish a human dose, treatment effect, or safety profile.
