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: A Key Molecule for Memory in the Healthy and the Pathological Brain

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a key molecule involved in plastic changes related to learning and memory. The expression of BDNF is highly regulated, and can lead to great variability in BDNF levels in healthy subjects.

Abnormal expression of cerebrospinal fluid cation chloride cotransporters in patients with Rett Syndrome [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: Rett Syndrome is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder caused mainly by mutations in the gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2. The relevance of MeCP2 for GABAergic function was previously documented in animal models. In these models,

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-term neuroprotection and neurorestoration by glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor microspheres for the treatment of parkinson's disease [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor is a survival factor for dopaminergic neurons and a promising candidate for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, the delivery issue of the protein to the brain still remains unsolved.
