A new gastric juice peptide, BPC, heals both acute and chronic gastrointestinal lesions. Journal of Physiology (Paris), 95(1-6), 7992
Modulates growth-factor receptor expression on tendon fibroblasts, including growth-hormone receptor upregulation
A scientist named Hansely developed the stress adaptation theory, which found that stressed animals had enlarged adrenals, destroyed gastric lining, and shrunk thymus gland and lymphatics, and this led to the idea that there must be a cytoprotective or organoprotective compound in the gut 4m6s
It comes as a freeze-dried powder, called a lyophilized powder, that a lab dissolves before any study
It is considered a compound-specific exception and is not required for most peptides
It's vital for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and energy production
