Together, the two peptides are studied for their ability to generate larger, better-organised blood vessel networks in healing tissue improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to injury sites and accelerating the removal of inflammatory waste products in experimental models
Subsequent studies and patents from the same group of researchers showed that a 15 amino acid peptide derived from the N-terminus of BPC, now known as BPC 157, has many of the same effects as the entire protein
