The effects of pentadecapeptide BPC 157 on the healing of the incisional skin wound in rats

Abstract

Healing of the wounds is accomplished by: the resolution of vessel constriction, the primary platelet plug formation, the fibrin mesh which acts to stabilize the platelet plug and finally resolution of the clot. By simultaneously curing cutaneous and other tissue wounds (colocutaneous, gastrocutaneous, esophagocutaneous, duodenocutaneous, vesicovaginal, and rectovaginal) in rats, the potency of stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (Body Protective Compound 157) has been already proven. We focused on the unexplored therapy effect of BPC 157 on an incisional wound.
