TNF-α suppression 24 hours post-injury 24–48 hours ELISA or Western blot Saline control shows 2–3× elevation at 24h Clearest acute inflammatory marker. Most reliable early indicator of peptide activity VEGF upregulation 48–72 hours post-injury 72 hours Immunoh
This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.
- TNF-α suppression
- 24 hours post-injury
- 24–48 hours
- ELISA or Western blot
- Saline control shows 2–3× elevation at 24h
- Clearest acute inflammatory marker. Most reliable early indicator of peptide activity
- VEGF upregulation
- 48–72 hours post-injury
- 72 hours
- Immunohistochemistry or ELISA
- Saline control shows 1.3–1.5× baseline
- Leading angiogenic signal. Predicts capillary density at day 14
- Collagen synthesis (hydroxyproline)
- Day 7–10 post-injury
- Day 7
- Hydroxyproline assay (colorimetric)
- Saline control shows 1.2–1.4× baseline
- Total collagen marker. Does not differentiate organized vs scar tissue
- Collagen type I:III ratio
- Day 10–14 post-injury
- Day 14
- Immunofluorescence or Western blot
- Saline control shows 1.5:1 ratio
- Best structural quality marker. Ratios >2.5:1 indicate organized repair
- Growth factor receptor density (GHR, IGF-1R)
- Day 5–7 post-injury
- Day 5
- Immunofluorescence
- Saline control shows minimal upregulation
- Underutilized marker. Reveals peptide's receptor-priming effect
- Capillary density (CD31 staining)
- Day 14 post-injury
- Day 14–21
- Immunohistochemistry
- Saline control shows 1.1–1.3× baseline
- Downstream angiogenic outcome. Must be paired with early VEGF measurement
