Signatures of genes that 1) change in expression with regional emphysema severity in this dataset, 2) change in expression with lung function measures in other datasets [6, 7, 9, 10], or 3) change in expression with TGF treatment in other datasets [1923] were each used as separate queries into the CMap data
Occasional headaches or mild stomach upset are also reported but tend to resolve quickly
KPV is preferentially taken up by inflamed colonic tissue via the PepT1 transporter
Both peptides require careful pH control (5.0-7.0) and protection from light
These findings align with the anecdotal reports from athletes and bodybuilders who have used the peptide for muscle strain recovery
In rabbit studies with 0.8 cm radial bone defects that remained incompletely healed in all control animals for 6 weeks, BPC-157 treatment (administered locally into the bone defect or intramuscularly) produced healing comparable to standard treatments including local bone marrow application or autologous cortical bone grafting
