Nature Communications, 2021 Activation of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and promotes weight loss in mice. Here the authors identify neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) as an adipokine that regulates sympathetic nervous system growth and ...

Analysis of the Expression of Neurotrophins and Their Receptors in Adult Zebrafish Kidney
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Neurotrophins and their receptors are involved in the development and maintenance of neuronal populations. Different reports have shown that all neurotrophin/receptor pathways can also play a role in several non-neuronal tissues in vertebrates, including

Editorial: Cell and molecular signaling, and transport pathways involved in growth factor control of synaptic development and function [PDF]
, 2015 Since the discovery of nerve growth factor (NGF) more than a half century ago (Levi-Montalcini and Cohen, 1960), the prototypic neurotrophin family has included brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4 ...

Correlation Between Irisin and Cognitive Functions in Alzheimer Dementia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The myokine irisin, a recent positive mediator of exercise in the brain, shows neuroprotective functions against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The association between irisin and cognition has never been explored in a biologically defined cohort of patients.

Sophisticated sperm allocation in male fowl [PDF]
, 2003 When a female is sexually promiscuous, the ejaculates of different males compete for the fertilization of her eggs; the more sperm a male inseminates into a female, the more likely he is to fertilize her eggs.

Neurotrophin-3 promotes the cholinergic differentiation of sympathetic neurons [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000 Neurotrophins influence the epigenetic shaping of the vertebrate nervous system by regulating neuronal numbers during development and synaptic plasticity. Here we attempt to determine whether these growth factors can also regulate neurotransmitter plasticity.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A novel blood‐brain barrier‐penetrating terpolymer nanoparticle to deliver brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is designed. The BDNF‐TPN significantly enhances BDNF accumulation in the brain following intravenous injection, reduces apoptosis and neuroinflammation, thus promoting neuronal survival and ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Neurotrophins and their Trk and p75NTR receptors play an important role in the nervous system. To date, neurotrophins, Trk and p75NTR have only been found concomitantly in deuterostomes.
