Oxidative stress in psychiatric disorders: evidence base and therapeutic implications
Lowers a signaling protein (TGF-1) and reduces cell stress (measured by an antioxidant enzyme called SOD), both of which contribute to hair follicles shrinking due to the hormone DHT
Sun exposure, smoking, and stress can reverse the effects
WHAT THE EVIDENCE IS The FDA briefing document dated 5/11/2026 identified five published human studies of BPC-157, totaling roughly 80 subjects: 24 healthy volunteers given rectal enemas, approximately 26 patients with ulcerative colitis, 17 patients with knee pain (given a compounded combination with thymosin beta-4), 12 patients with interstitial cystitis, and 2 healthy volunteers given intravenous infusions
The hypothesis extended to the possibility that if BPC-157 were introduced before the occurrence of TBI, it might show an improved ratio of conscious/unconscious/death states in the test subjects
