Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 enhances the growth hormone receptor expression in tendon fibroblasts
Chang CH, Tsai WC, Hsu YH, et al. Molecules 2014;19:19066-19077.
What it found
BPC-157 increased the amount of growth hormone receptor in rat tendon cells. When growth hormone was then added, treated cells multiplied more and showed more JAK2 signalling.
Limitations
Cells in a dish only. It does not show that BPC-157 changes growth hormone signalling in a living animal or person.
