Review of a stomach-derived peptide and other agents for liver injury in animal studies
This review looks at many possible liver treatments, mostly tested in lab animals. It says human studies are still needed before anyone can know if they work.
Review of peptide products BPC-157 and TB-500 for joint and muscle recovery
This review found mostly animal and lab studies, plus one small human case series with no standard measures. It cannot show these products work or are safe for orthopaedic use.
Few human studies exist for BPC-157, a peptide used in sports injury recovery
This review found only three small human studies of BPC-157, so the evidence is very weak. It does not show the peptide works or is safe, and the authors say it should not be used outside approved trials.
Case Report: Regenerative peptides for Inferior alveolar nerve injury: a narrative review with hypothesis-generating three clinical cases.
Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury represents a substantial complication in oral and maxillofacial surgery, often leading to persistent neurosensory dysregulation with limited effective treatment options.
Review of BPC 157 studies in rats and mice on blood-flow injury
Researchers reviewed past animal studies of BPC 157 for injury when blood flow returns to tissue. The review says the results are mixed and the findings only suggest ideas for more study.
Dangers of Injectable Peptides and Other Unregulated "Biohacking" Drugs.
Injectable peptides are increasingly used without prescriptions for cosmetic and athletic enhancement, driven by digital marketing and social media.
Efficient Expression of Small Molecule Bioactive Peptides in Bacillus licheniformis.
Stable expression of γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT)-BPC157 and mScarlet-BPC157 in Bacillus licheniformis strain 2709 by chromosomal integration.
Peptides in Regenerative Medicine: A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Applications in Tissue Repair and Chronic Pain Management.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This narrative review summarizes the current evidence on regenerative peptides relevant to chronic pain management, including collagen peptides, body protection compound-157 (BPC-157), thymosin beta-4…
Peptide Supplements and Their Therapeutic Applications in Sports Medicine.
BACKGROUND: The peptide supplement market has experienced rapid growth due to marketing claims of enhanced performance and accelerated recovery from musculoskeletal injury.
A new gel made with BPC-157 and chitosan was tested in a lab
Researchers made a gel that holds the peptide BPC-157 and tested its physical traits and germ-fighting power. It does not show the gel helps the body or is safe to use in people.
Two peptides studied for Achilles tendon healing in rats
Researchers gave rats two peptides after cutting and repairing their Achilles tendon. TB-500 showed stronger healing signs, and the authors say more study is needed before any use in people.
Stable pentadecapeptide therapy counteracts gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity via nitric oxide-system modulation: evidence from a triple nitric oxide-agent…
In rats, stable gastric pentadecapeptide (BPC 157) therapy may resolve severe gentamicin nephrotoxicity (100 mg/kg ip/daily through 8 days) and the nitric oxide (NO)-system relation.
Effects of Supplementation in Masters Athletes and Older Adults: A Narrative Review.
Supplementation use in athletes is common and increasing in popularity, especially for adults seeking improvements in athletic performance.
