16 Peptide SystemsResearch peptide reconstitution and stability protocols for lyophilized peptides
Current laboratory studies examine BPC-157 in models involving: .Gastric tissue biology .Intestinal cell research .Epithelial barrier function .Cellular integrity .Digestive tissue organization These investigations remain an active area of peptide science and continue to contribute to a better understanding of gastrointestinal biology
For example, last year, Jeevisha Bajaj, PhD, a colleague of Harris, discovered that taurine, another antioxidant available in foods, supplements, and energy drinks, drives the growth of leukemia cells
Studies have suggested that increased susceptibility to KBD in selenium-deficient populations might result from a reduced antioxidant protection associated with polymorphisms in GPX genes (60, 61), but polymorphisms in other genes have also been implicated (62)
