Autonomic Neuroscience, 2010
The aim of this review is to report recent findings and ongoing studies on the effects of acupuncture on endogenous biological mediators, in particular on neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique and is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Neurotrophins and neurodegeneration
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 2003There is growing evidence that reduced neurotrophic support is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this review we discuss the structure and functions of neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor, and the role of ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001
The neurotrophins are a family of peptides that promote survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons. Neurotrophins may also influence the function of nonneuronal cell types, including immune cells. The development and maintenance of asthma is thought to involve the nervous system and the immune system, but the role that neurotrophins play in ...

Physiology of the Neurotrophins
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1996The neurotrophins are a small group of dimeric proteins that profoundly affect the development of the nervous system of vertebrates. Recent studies have established clear correlations between the survival requirements for different neurotrophins of functionally distinct subsets of sensory neurons.

Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Human Pulmonary Arteries
Journal of Vascular Research, 2000The localization of neurotrophins (NTs) and NT receptors was analyzed in sections of human extra- and intrapulmonary arteries by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. In extrapulmonary branches of human pulmonary artery, NT and NT receptor immunoreactivity was located in the tunica intima, within endothelium, in the tunica media, within ...

Nerve growth factor was the first identified protein with anti-apoptotic activity on neurons. This prototypic neurotrophic factor, together with the three structurally and functionally related growth factors brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT4/5), forms the neurotrophin protein family.

Neurotrophins and schizophrenia
Schizophrenia Research, 2007Neurotrophins have established roles in neuronal development, synaptogenesis, and response to stress/anxious stimuli. Moreover, these agents are neuromodulators of monoaminergic, GABAergic, and cholinergic systems. Amidst a growing appreciation of the developmental neurobiology of schizophrenia--as well as the propensity for progressive brain changes ...
