The impact of brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene polymorphisms on post-stroke naming in aphasia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Post-stroke aphasia, or language deficits after stroke, afflicts 20-30% of survivors and often persists into the chronic phase. The protein brain-derived neurotrophic factor has been identified as important for neuroplasticity, and is regulated by the ...

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulate the interaction between astrocytes and Schwann cells at the trigeminal root entry zone

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
The trigeminal root entry zone is the zone at which the myelination switches from peripheral Schwann cells to central oligodendrocytes. Its special anatomical and physiological structure renders it susceptible to nerve injury.

Acute effects of two different work-to-rest ratio of high-intensity interval training on brain-derived neurotrophic factor in untrained young men

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Background: Aerobic exercise could produce a positive effect on the brain by releasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In untrained healthy humans there seems to be a linear correlation between exercise duration and the positive effect of acute

Assessment of attention, memory, and salivary brain-derived neurotrophic factor in chronic smokers: A cross-sectional observational study

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, 2023
Objective: Chronic smoking leads to cognitive impairments and affects the peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. BDNF is responsible for synaptic plasticity and memory.

Ras p21 protein promotes survival and fiber outgrowth of cultured embryonic neurons [PDF]

, 1989
Although evidence obtained with the PC12 cell line has suggested a role for the ras oncogene proteins in the signal transduction of nerve growth factor-mediated fiber outgrowth, little is known about the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in megakaryocytes [PDF]

, 2016
The biosynthesis of endogenous BDNF has thus far been examined in neurons where it is expressed at very low levels, in an activity-dependent fashion. In humans, BDNF has long been known to accumulate in circulating platelets, at levels far higher than in

Nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the chronobiology of mood: a new insight into the "neurotrophic hypothesis" [PDF]

, 2015
The light information pathways and their relationship with the body rhythms have generated a new insight into the neurobiology and the neurobehavioral sciences, as well as into the clinical approaches to human diseases associated with disruption of ...

Acute strength exercise and the involvement of small or large muscle mass on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels

Clinics, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Blood neurotrophins, such as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor, are considered to be of great importance in mediating the benefits of physical exercise.

Target-derived neurotrophic factors regulate the death of developing forebrain neurons after a change in their trophic requirements [PDF]

, 2001
Many neurons die as the normal brain develops. How this is regulated and whether the mechanism involves neurotrophic molecules from target cells are unknown.

Long noncoding nature brain-derived neurotrophic factor antisense is associated with poor prognosis and functional regulation in non–small cell lung caner

Tumor Biology, 2017
In this study, we evaluated the prognostic potential and functional regulation of human nature antisense, brain-derived neurotrophic factor antisense, in non–small cell lung cancer.
