Counteraction of perforated cecum lesions in rats: Effects of pentadecapeptide BPC 157, L-NAME and L-arginine

Figure 9 At the first day post-injury, controls (c, C) exhibited intensive edema, loss of glands in the vicinity of the perforation, not possible to obtain a complete defect (due to edema, the tissue is disintegrating), scarce inflammation, and neutrophils [c, HE x 4; C, HE x 10 (control)]. In rats treated with BPC 157 (b, B), we noted much less edema and intensive inflammation (mixed-neutro and mono). Fibrin cloth attached to defect (“holding” the edges) (b, HEx4; B, HEx10 (BPC 157)).
