Abstract
A comprehensive review of BPC-157's tissue repair mechanisms, including angiogenesis promotion, collagen production, and cellular migration enhancement. This study examines the peptide's role in healing various tissue types.
BPC-157, also known as Body Protection Compound-157, has demonstrated remarkable tissue repair capabilities across multiple tissue types. Recent research has elucidated several key mechanisms:
1. Angiogenesis Promotion: BPC-157 enhances blood vessel formation through VEGF pathway activation, ensuring adequate blood supply to healing tissues.
2. Collagen Synthesis: The peptide stimulates fibroblast activity, leading to increased collagen production essential for tissue structural integrity.
3. Cellular Migration: BPC-157 facilitates the migration of various cell types to injury sites, accelerating the healing process.
4. Anti-inflammatory Effects: The compound modulates inflammatory responses, preventing excessive inflammation that could impair healing.
Studies in various animal models have shown promising results in treating tendon injuries, muscle tears, and gastrointestinal damage. Human trials are ongoing to validate these findings.
