Neuropathy
Damage or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. BPC-157 and NGF-related peptides are studied for nerve regeneration in preclinical models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neuropathy?
Damage or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. BPC-157 and NGF-related peptides are studied for nerve regeneration in preclinical models.
Why is Neuropathy important in peptide research?
Understanding neuropathy is important because it represents a health condition where peptide interventions are being actively researched. Knowledge of the underlying pathology helps inform peptide selection and protocol design.

BDNF
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein that supports neuron survival, growth, and synaptic plasticity. Critical for learning and memory. Upregulated by peptides like Selank, Semax, and Dihexa.
InflammationThe body’s immune response to injury, infection, or irritation. Acute inflammation is protective; chronic inflammation drives disease. Many peptides (BPC-157, KPV, LL-37, Thymosin Alpha-1) modulate inflammatory pathways.
