The beneficial effect of BPC 157, a 15 amino acid peptide BPC fragment, on gastric and duodenal lesions induced by restraint stress, cysteamine and 96% ethanol in rats. A comparative study with H2 receptor antagonists, dopamine promotors and gut peptides.
Low Confidence Animal StudyPrimary source: [Open]
Linked compounds: bpc-157
Outcomes summary
Rat models of gastric and duodenal injury induced by restraint stress, cysteamine, and ethanol, comparing BPC 157 with several pharmacologic agents; reports lesion-related outcomes in these preclinical models.
Limitations
Preclinical injury models and older study design; clinical relevance to human gastrointestinal disease is uncertain.
