The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was initially considered to be neuron-specific. Meanwhile, this neurotrophin is peripherally also secreted by skeletal muscle cells and increases due to exercise.

Trace Elements Genetics: A Potential Role in Treatment‐Resistant Major Psychoses and Related Traits?
ABSTRACT Trace elements are pivotal to key biological processes, with possible effects on psychopathology. We investigated the hypothesis of shared genetic factors between trace elements levels, treatment resistance and related traits. We used genome‐wide summary statistics for trace elements blood concentration, treatment‐resistant depression (TRD ...

Extending the ATP9A‐Related Phenotypic Spectrum: Indication of Schizophrenia Susceptibility
ABSTRACT ATP9A, which belongs to the P4‐ATPase family of proteins, is involved in the efficient transport of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane, as well as the release of extracellular vesicles from human cells. In 2021, a loss‐of‐function variant of this gene was identified as being associated with a recessive neurodevelopmental ...

An Investigation of the Role of Sex Difference in the Effect of Fluoxetine on Behavioral and Biochemical Changes in Male and Female Rats Exposed to Stress [PDF]
Background and purpose: Unpredictable stressors cause changes in behavioral parameters such as motor and exploratory behaviors, feeding, and sexual and anxiety behaviors. Stress leads to the release of corticosteroids and, as a result, causes dysfunction

Schematic diagram of the core pathways of the liver‐brain axis in regulating AD. The liver regulates cerebral Aβ deposition, tau phosphorylation, and neuroinflammation through pathways such as metabolic detoxification (urea cycle, ketone body metabolism, glutathione antioxidant system), molecular secretion (APOE, CRP, FGF21, IGF‐1), and Aβ clearance ...

LOCAL SUPPLEMENTATION OF BRAINDERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEURONAL DAMAGE. [PDF]
The importance of nerve growth factors, especially brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the regulation of neuronal survival and plastic changes in morphology and function has been increasingly studied during the recent years.
