Bowel adhesion and therapy with the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157, L-NAME and L-arginine in rats

Figure 1 At 7 d (7) or 14 d (14) post-injury, we assessed the adhesion score (0-4), min/med/max. Medication (/kg), was BPC 157 [10 µg (µ) or 10 ng (n)] (b - 1 mL bath/rat at abdominal cavity, B – once daily intraperitoneally, first application at 30 min following surgery, last 24 h before sacrifice; B once daily intraperitoneally, first application at day 7 following surgery, last 24 h before sacrifice) or saline(controls)(C) (bath equal volume, or once daily intraperitoneally (since not different results are shown together). ^aP < 0.05 at least vs control.
