Physical exercise modulates peripheral levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF): A systematic review of experimental studies in the elderly
(2013-01-01)
The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies that analyzed the effect of physical exercise on the peripheral levels of BDNF in elderly individuals. Method: We conducted a search in PsycINFO, ...
Lithium increases plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor in acute bipolar mania: A preliminary 4-week study
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2011)
Several studies have suggested an important role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathophysiology and therapeutics of bipolar disorder (BPD). The mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of lithium ...
Circulating levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor: correlation with mood, cognition and motor function
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2010)
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most widely distributed neurotrophin in the CNS, where it plays several pivotal roles in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. As a consequence, BDNF has become a key ...
Increased plasma levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) after multiple sclerosis relapse
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2009)
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been related to neuroprotection in a series of central nervous system diseases, although its role in multiple sclerosis (MS) was only partially investigated. In this work, we ...
Acute Aerobic Exercise Increases Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels in Elderly with Alzheimer's Disease
(IOS Press, 2014-01-01)
Studies indicate the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Decreased BDNF levels may constitute a lack of trophic support and contribute to cognitive ...
Concurrent Training Increases Serum Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Older Adults Regardless of the Exercise Frequency
(2022-03-07)
Background: Human brain function declines with aging. In this sense, exercise-based interventions has a promising effect on brain plasticity for older adults. Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a positive ...
Correlates of early pregnancy serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor in a Peruvian population
(Springer, 2017)
Knowledge about factors that influence serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations during early pregnancy is lacking. The aim of the study is to examine the correlates of early pregnancy serum BDNF ...
The application of cytokine expression assays to differentiate active from previously treated syphilis.
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
To investigate the role of serum cytokine assays to distinguish between active from treated syphilis among serofast patients, we recruited individuals into a prospective cohort study. Participants underwent routine syphilis ...
Administration of cannabidiol and imipramine induces antidepressant-like effects in the forced swimming test and increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in the rat amygdala
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)
Objective: Cannabidiol is a chemical constituent from Cannabis sativa and it has multiple mechanisms of action, including antidepressant effects. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate behavioural and ...
Acute strength exercise and the involvement of small or large muscle mass on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2010-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: Blood neurotrophins, such as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor, are considered to be of great importance in mediating the benefits of physical exercise. In this study, the effect of acute strength exercise ...
