In hippocampal I/R, treatment normalized VEGF expression, downregulated NF-B, preserved tissue architecture, and reduced apoptotic neurons and inflammatory infiltration.63 In a rat cecum perforation model, BPC 157 promoted angiogenesis while reducing hemorrhagic necrosis and adhesions.85 In hepatic I/R induced by Pringles maneuver, BPC 157 preserved sinusoidal structure, limited necrosis, and attenuated inflammatory infiltration.55 In colitis-associated ischemia reperfusion injury, BPC 157 was shown to restore vascular integrity, enhance re-epithelialization, and reduce mucosal inflammation.62 BPC 157 also promoted rapid revascularization and decreased adhesion formation in a duodenocolic fistula model.49 In tendon and muscle injury models, it also accelerated healing and preserved structural alignment.47,53 Collectively, these findings reinforce the histopathological improvements observed in our ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ARTICLE IN PRESS ARTICLE IN PRESS study, supporting BPC 157s capacity to attenuate structural injury and preserve tissue integrity in skeletal muscle I/R
