Bacteriostatic Water: Contains preservatives to inhibit microbial growth Used to dissolve and dilute model peptides Has less chance of contamination than sterile water Sterile Water: Does not contain preservatives Used to dissolve peptides, but not recommended for long-term storage or dilution of model peptides More prone to contamination than bacteriostatic water Ultimately, it is up to the users preferences when deciding between these two liquids for peptide reconstitution

Application of amyloid-1-42 to HBMECs upregulated CCR5, involved in T-cell transmigration, via JNK, ERK, and PI3 kinase pathways (Li et al., 2013)
Three different, already established and published models were used (10-12)
[3] For BPC-157 and other experimental peptides, the side effect profile is largely unknown due to lack of human clinical trials
