Unlike receptor-defined peptide systems such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, amylin analogs, or growth-hormone / GHRH-related receptor-targeted peptides, BPC-157s reported effects have been attributed in published research to modulation of several intersecting signaling pathways without a definitively established primary molecular target
Since our proteomic study suggested mitochondrial alterations following HC treatment, and considering the recent hypothesis of Simeone (Simeone, 2025) that HC might interact with key cellular antioxidant systems, mitochondrial function was further investigated through oxygen consumption rate (OCR), extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial network morphology, ROS production and GSH/GSSG ratio
