| Core Tip |
In rats treated with the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib, BPC 157 (given intraperitoneally) counteracted lesion development in the stomach, liver and brain. BPC 157 treatment alongside with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) also attenuated any effect of L-NAME that would otherwise have intensified the deleterious regular course. Consistently, with exacerbation (induced by L-NAME administration) and amelioration (due to L-arginine) of gastric, liver and brain lesions, L-arginine amelioration prevailed (i.e., the gastric, liver and brain lesions were attenuated) when given together with L-NAME (L-NAME + L-arginine), an effect further reversed toward a marked beneficial effect by the addition of BPC 157 (L-NAME + L-arginine + BPC 157). |
