What did the tendon-repair experiment actually measure?
Demonstrated findings
A product labeled TB-500 increased median tendon failure load versus control in repaired rat Achilles tendons. Combining it with BPC-157 did not outperform the separate treatments.
What might this mean? · interpretation
Mechanical testing provides an animal repair signal worth following up.
What might this mean, and what would change the interpretation?
Very small groups; product identity and the rat model limit translation. This is not evidence of improved human recovery.
What would clarify this: Independent replication with verified compound identity, followed by human functional outcomes.
