Investigation of the association between cardio-metabolic risk factors, neurotrophins and gastric hormones among apparently healthy women: A cross-sectional analysis [PDF]
Introduction: Although, some evidence has shown that obestatin, ghrelin, and neurotrophic factors can be involved in the development of cardio-metabolic risk factors, there are some contradictions in this regard.

BDNF and its pro-peptide are stored in presynaptic dense core vesicles in brain neurons [PDF]
Although brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates numerous and complex biological processes including memory retention, its extremely low levels in the mature central nervous system have greatly complicated attempts to reliably localize it ...
