    Summary
    Interestingly, in gastrectomized animals, the application of BPC 157 or the reference agents before cysteamine significantly prevented the otherwise severe duodenal lesion development noted in the control gastrectomized cysteamine rats.

    Summary · context
    In the absence of stomach and gastric acid, the damaging effects of cysteamine (400 mg/kg subcutaneously, death 24 hr thereafter), to date thought to be an acid-related duodenal ulcerogen, and the BPC 157 cytoprotective effect (10 microg or 10 ng/kg intraperitoneally)

    BPC 157 was compared with reference agents [cimetidine (50), ranitidine (10), omeprazole (10), bromocriptine (10) and atropine (10) (mg/kg intraperitoneally, 1 hr before cysteamine
  3. 03AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In gastrectomized rats and rats with an intact stomach, BPC‑157 gave equal protection against cysteamine damage as the reference agents.

    In plain wordsIn rats with and without a stomach, BPC‑157 protected as much as reference drugs against cysteamine damage.
