Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yep.

It's modulating a lot of these growth and healing pathways.

Like in the models of damaging the endothelial layer or the epithelial layer of different tissues, you'll get more VEGF signaling.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So that's the vascular endothelial growth factor.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So you get more blood vessels, androgenesis being formed, which creates a lot of the controversy around BPC safety.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

You'll get cell migration, especially when coupled with TB500 and TB4.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

You'll get more access of the healing factors to the area through androgenic pathways.

Huberman Lab

On top of that, you'll get an anti-stress effect.

So the other big thing that they did was they'd give corticosteroids with BPC-157 to these mice.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

And usually when you have a wound and you give corticosteroids, the corticosteroids will slow or even stop the wound healing from happening.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

When BPC was administered, the healing was either the same or even better.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

More putting the gas pedal on these processes to bring in the immune system, the healing factors.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

For example, in one tendon model, they noticed that it increased the amount of growth hormone receptors on the tendon.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So theoretically, this would allow more growth hormone to dock in and cause the outgrowth of the tendon and the regrowth of it.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So there's that theory there.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Downstream will modulate nitric oxide synthesis.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So that's a big thing when it comes to wound healing because you need to dilate the blood vessels.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

You need to call in different cells.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So it's really changing the way cells behave at that level.

Huberman Lab

But that's only for the tendon side of it.
