BPC-157 Promotes Achilles Tendon-to-Bone Healing AND Opposes Steroid-Induced Healing Failure
BPC-157 accelerated Achilles tendon-to-bone healing at the detachment site in rats and counteracted corticosteroid-induced healing impairment — addressing both normal and steroid-complicated tendon repair.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
BPC-157 promoted tendon-to-bone healing at the Achilles detachment site in rats, improving both normal healing AND opposing corticosteroid-impaired healing — demonstrating efficacy in the clinically challenging scenario of tendon repair during steroid therapy.
