One peptide that stands out is the TB 500 peptide, known for its tissue repair and flexibility benefits
The original adipocyte research reported increased intracellular NAD following 5-Amino-1MQ exposure
Other factors such as the laterality of meniscus (medial vs lateral) or type of meniscal tear (bucket-handle, longitudinal, horizontal, complex, undersurface, and radial) could contribute to the process of healing Field
Ng et al., Journal of Endocrinology found that AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits fat storage without increasing IGF-1 or causing anabolic effects
What they did: They transected the quadriceps (front thigh) of rats and divided them into three groups: Control, no drugs Dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid that is known to impair healing Dexamethasone + BPC-157 What they found: Dexamethasone group: 50 % worse healing than control (confirmed negative effect of steroids) Dexamethasone + BPC-157 group: healing at the level of controls without steroids Why it matters: This is a highly clinically relevant finding
