It is part of the endocrine system and helps regulate circadian rhythms through the production of melatonin, a hormone involved in sleep timing and biological clock regulation (read more on melatonin in our previous blog post)
Likewise, along with previous beneficial effect of BPC 157 in gastrointestinal tract, and inflammatory bowel disease complications that were accordingly solved (10, 11), poor healing of the fistulas (35), unhealed intestinal anastomosis (42, 43), massive intestinal resection leading to short bowel (43)) this study shows BPC 157's high potential to heal colon-colon anastomosis along with cysteamine colitis, thus, potential to counteract the consequences of the anastomosis for cysteamine colitis, and vice versa, convalescing the increased healing failure of anastomosis healing due to concomitant presentation of severe colitis
