BPC 157 and Standard Angiogenic Growth Factors. Gastrointestinal Tract Healing, Lessons from Tendon, Ligament, Muscle and Bone Healing

Review examining BPC 157's role in angiogenic healing across gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal tissues compared to standard growth factors (EGF, FGF, VEGF).

Abstract

Commonly, the angiogenic growth factors signify healing.. However, gastrointestinal ulceration is still poorly understood particularly with respect to a general pharmacological/pathophysiological role of various angiogenic growth factors implemented in growth factors wound healing concept.. Thereby, we focused on the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157, a peptide given always alone vs.
