The Pattern of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Gene Expression in the Hippocampus of Diabetic Rats
Objective(s) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of regular exercise in preventing diabetes complication in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Materials and Methods A total of 48 male wistar rats were divided into four groups (control, control exercise, diabetic and diabetic exercise). Diabetes was induced by injection of single dose of STZ. Exercise ...
متن کاملRole of Serum Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and BDNF Gene Mutation in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Origin of Proposal The diagnosis of autism is based solely on behavioral characteristics. There is currently no laboratory test that can be done to identify autism. The etiology of Autism Spectrum disorders (ASD) is not well understood, though it likely involves genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors. The condition was initially described in the U.S. and European medical literature in ...

متن کاملPossible role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in autism spectrum disorder: current status.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophin family of survival-promoting molecules, plays a vital role in the growth, development, maintenance, and function of several neuronal systems. The purpose of this review is to document the support for the involvement of this molecule in the maintenance of normal cognitive, emotional functioning, and to outline recent developm...
متن کاملBrain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in cardiometabolic physiology and diseases.
Important advances in our understanding of the relationships between adipose tissue derived peptides, namely adipokines, and their effects on cardiovascular functions have been achieved in recent years. Growing knowledge of adipokine biology is revealing the complexity of these proteins. Adipose tissue releases some other proteins called neurotrophins that are mainly active in central and perip...
