As a peptide, BPC 157 interacts with the bodys natural healing processes
Introduction The first reports about a plant glutathione S-transferase enzyme (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) appeared in 1970, when it was revealed that a GST catalyzed the detoxification of the herbicide atrazine by its conjugation to the endogenous tripeptide glutathione (GSH, -L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) in sorghum and maize plants (Frear and Swanson, 1) and the nucleophilic GSH, thus tagging the xenobiotic for vacuolar sequestration (Martinoia et al., 1) (Bartling et al., Figure 1 (B) Nucleophilic addition reaction between cinnamic acid and GSH (Edwards and Dixon, (C) Reduction (detoxification) of fatty acid hydroperoxides to corresponding hydroxy derivatives by the peroxidase activity of GST as described by Bartling et al
One group adhered to a normal diet, while the other followed a high-antioxidant diet (HAD) for 4 months, tailored to each patients energy requirements
