  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats with gastrojejunal anastomosis challenged with ethanol, BPC‑157 had mainly adaptive cytoprotective activity.

    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    Their effects were compared in rats treated as follows: exogenous irritant studies (96% or 20% ethanol), exogenous/exogenous irritant studies (20% ethanol 1 h before 96% ethanol), endogenous irritant studies (gastrojejunal anastomosis for 24 h), and endogenous/exogenous irritant studies (gastrojejun…
