Summary
A rat study of Achilles tendon healing after transection and repair, comparing control, BPC-157, TB-500 and the combination for four weeks. Load to failure was higher in the BPC-157 and TB-500 groups, significant only for TB-500. Tendon histology scores were better in the TB-500 and combined groups; the BPC-157-alone group trended better without reaching significance.
