A study in mice and human tissue shows that the antioxidant glutathione feeds cancer cells Glutathione is considered an antioxidant due to its ability to repair cellular damage
Researchers who work with the broader class of repair peptides including TB-500, GHK-Cu, and KPV note that the BPC-157 peptides documentation extends further back than most synthetic alternatives, with published mechanistic research dating to the early 1990s
BPC-157s modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, without suppressing normal immune function the way corticosteroids do, makes it a useful tool for patients who need repeated joint management but want to avoid the tissue-degrading effects of repeated cortisone injections
But in lupus, LL-37 takes on a different character
What makes them noteworthy is the novelty of their targets: Dihexa works through the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) / c-Met receptor system, while PE-22-28 blocks TREK-1 two-pore domain potassium channels
