Abstract

We improved medial collateral ligament (MCL) healing throughout 90 days after surgical transection. We introduced intraperitoneal, per-oral (in drinking water) and topical (thin cream layer) peptide therapy always given alone, without a carrier. Previously, as an effective peptide therapy, stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, an anti-ulcer peptide effective in inflammatory bowel disease therapy (PL 14736)) particularly improved healing of transected tendon and muscle and wound healing effect including the expression of the early growth response 1 (egr-1) gene. After MCL transection BPC 157 was effective in rats when given once daily intraperitoneally (10 microg or 10 ng/kg) or locally as a thin layer (1.0 microg dissolved in distilled water/g commercial neutral cream) at the site of injury, first application 30 min after surgery and the final application 24 h before sacrifice. Likewise, BPC 157 was effective given per-orally (0.16 microg/ml in the drinking water (12 ml/day/rat)) until sacrifice. Commonly, BPC 157 microg-ng-rats exhibited consistent functional, biomechanical, macroscopic and histological healing improvements. Thus, we suggest BPC 157 improved healing of acute ligament injuries in further ligament therapy.

euthanasia

why to dissect them to check out internally?

or just cuz? sorta fuked up if so

Lol clearly you haven't read into what humans do to animals in order to test/perfect certain medicines/products, plenty of fucked up cases.

its sorta fuked, but i understand that they experiment on rats

but hey if they survived the experiment, i think its way more fuked to kill them either way?

then again what to do with these rats after ? idk, find something. cant really reuse for other tests cause might cause conflict between previous test. and cant give to pet stores, too many rats and can be unsafe for pet owner or snake whatever they feed rat to lol, depending on what was done to the rat.

so eh, just was weird how they used the term sacrifice

Far more politically correct than murdered.

In terms of them surviving the experiment, just because they survived doesn't mean underlying damage could have been caused that we wouldn't notice down the road.

As you said, if we keep them alive literally the only thing to do with them is keep them alive to further monitor the affects of the trials, this is naturally both costly and inefficient.

Why test on rats, then wait a year to find out the drug actually caused some sort of heart damage that slowly killed it, when you could just kill and dissect it a few days/weeks after trials to investigate?

These drug companies want their product rushed to market with approval, they'll murder a million rats before waiting a few years to find out they need to tweak the formula.

my g pa was a lab rat in the tuskegee experiment

Fuck took me so long to realize where this came from, lold hard when I read it but complete mind fuck until just now.

One of the best movies ever lol

i dont get it?

It's from a scene in the movie, if you haven't seen it go watch it.
