In a 2006 Journal of Orthopaedic Research study, Krivic and colleagues performed Achilles tendon-to-bone detachment in Wistar rats and reported that BPC-157 administration accelerated tendon-to-bone reattachment by histological, biomechanical, and functional indices, and counteracted the impairment of healing produced by concurrent corticosteroid administration (Krivic et al., 2006)
