There is increasing interest in developing tripeptides with targeted therapeutic functions, particularly for applications in wound healing [36, 75, 92], as well as in cancer [60, 170], neurodegenerative [24, 173], and cardiovascular diseases [177, 178], and in the design of functional foods [179, 182, 188]
Anesthesiology 77:779784 Klicek R, Sever M, Radic B et al (2008) Pentadecapeptide BPC 157, in clinical trials as a therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (PL14736), is effective in the healing of colocutaneous fistulas in rats: role of the nitric oxide-system
Originally isolated from a protein in the gastric system, this short chain of amino acids has been studied in research settings for its ability to promote tissue healing and regeneration
For current options in peptide administration, researchers can explore the differences between injectable versus oral peptide delivery
