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.

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.

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.

Unaltered low nerve growth factor and high brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in plasma from patients with fibromyalgia after a 15-week progressive resistance exercise

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019
Background: The pathophysiology of fibromyalgia includes central and peripheral factors. Neurotrophins, such as nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, are involved in peripheral and central nervous system development of pain and ...

Repair of peripheral nerve defects with chemically extracted acellular nerve allografts loaded with neurotrophic factors-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Chemically extracted acellular nerve allografts loaded with brain-derived neurotrophic factor-transfected or ciliary neurotrophic factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to repair sciatic nerve injury better than chemically ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and mental disorders

Biomedical Journal, 2020
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that modulates neuroplasticity in the brain, and is one of the most widely investigated molecule in psychiatric disorders.
