BPC-157 Neural Repair describes the therapeutic application of the stable gastric pentadecapeptide, BPC-157, specifically targeting the promotion of regeneration and functional recovery within the central and peripheral nervous systems. This focus is on leveraging the peptide’s documented cytoprotective and angiogenic properties to address neuronal damage, mitigate neurotoxicity, and accelerate the healing of nerve tissue. The clinical interest lies in its potential to enhance intrinsic repair mechanisms following injury or chronic stress.
Origin
BPC-157 was initially isolated from human gastric juice, with early research concentrating on its profound healing effects on the gastrointestinal tract and musculoskeletal system. The concept of “Neural Repair” emerged from subsequent preclinical studies demonstrating its ability to counteract the effects of various neurological insults and promote functional recovery in animal models. Its mechanism is closely linked to modulating growth factor signaling crucial for nervous system plasticity.
Mechanism
The peptide’s action involves several distinct pathways critical for neural healing. BPC-157 is known to interact with the growth hormone axis and potentially upregulate receptors, indirectly supporting tissue regeneration. Crucially, it promotes the survival of neurons by modulating the nitric oxide system and mitigating oxidative stress, a common factor in neurodegeneration. Furthermore, its ability to influence the expression of growth factors like Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) aids in the revascularization of damaged neural tissue, facilitating nutrient and oxygen delivery essential for repair.
