BPC-157, an abbreviation for Body Protection Compound-157, is a pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids
these enzymes are highly expressed in kidney and liver of mice, but exhibit low expression in muscle ( 1 lead to increases in muscle carnosine content ( It is currently unknown to what extent the acute plasma BA response to supplementation is related to chronic changes of carnosine in muscle when BA is ingested over an extended period
Reproducibility within the assays was evaluated in three independent experiments
This discovery provides an essential mechanistic blueprint to explain why patient responses vary, why weight loss eventually plateaus, and how combining treatments could extend drug efficacy
