A 2003 study by Staresinic, Sebecic, Patrlj, and colleagues in Journal of Orthopaedic Research used a rat Achilles tendon transection model with BPC-157 administered intraperitoneally once daily at 10 g/kg, 10 ng/kg, or 10 pg/kg and reported improved load-to-failure, Young's modulus of elasticity, and Achilles functional index scores, reduced tendon defect size by day 14, and increased tendocyte outgrowth in vitro with specific numerical effect sizes and p-values not reported in the abstract
Probiotics also modulate the activity of DCs and provoke anti-inflammatory functions, including the induction of IL-10 production, thus ensuring immune homeostasis in SLE ( Figure 2 ) (110, 111)
The latter compounds are the product of anaerobic colonic bacterial action and later portal venous reabsorption [7]
