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

Figure 2 At 7 d or 14 d post-injury, we assessed the adhesion score (0-4), min/med/max. Medication (/kg, 1 mL bath/rat) at abdominal cavity was BPC 157 (10 µg) (B), L-arginine (A) (100 mg), L-NAME (5 mg) alone or in combinations (L-NAME + L-arginine (NA), L-arginine + BPC 157 (AB), L-NAME + BPC 157 (NB), L-arginine + L-NAME + BPC 157 (ANB) or saline bath equal volume (controls) (C). ^aP < 0.05 at least vs control; BPC 10 ng presented adhesion score 1/1/1 with L-arginine (L-arginine + BPC 157); Score 1/1/1 with L-NAME (L-NAME + BPC 157); Score 1/1/1 with L-arginine and L-NAME (L-arginine + L-NAME + BPC 157), ^aP < 0.05 at least vs control.
