P36: Role of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Pathogenesis and Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a syndrome causing from a severe traumatic happening that leads to threatened death or injury. PTSD is associated with changes in limbic, hippocampal, and prefrontal cortical region function due to changes in synaptogenesis, dendritic modifying, and neurogenesis. Changes in neuron in PTSD patients result from pathophysiological disturbances in inflammato...
متن کاملEvaluation of nicotinic receptor of pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus in central cardiovascular regulation in anesthetized rat
Objective(s): Cholinergic neurons are important neurons in the Pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT). In this study, nicotinic receptor of the PPT in central cardiovascular regulation in the anesthetized rat was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Saline, acetylcholine (Ach; doses: 90 and 150 nmol), hexamethonium (Hexa; doses: 100 and 300 nmol) and higher doses of Hexa (300 nmol) + Ach (150 nm...
متن کاملP-52: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Promotes The Development of Human Ovarian Early Follicles during Growth In Vitro
Background Cryopreservation of ovarian cortex is increasingly used to preserve fertility before cancer therapy. Recently, studies show that Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be involved in oocyte maturation. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is member of neurotrophin family that has anti-apoptotic effects on nervous system. Recent researches show that it also plays key role in...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates expression of androgen receptors in perineal motoneurons (spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosusyciliary neurotrophic factoryglial cell line-derived neurotrophic factory neurotrophin-4yvinblastine)
Motoneurons in the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB) express androgen receptors and innervate striated muscles attached to the penis. Previous studies indicated that androgen receptor immunoreactivity in the SNB motoneurons decreases after axotomy and returns to normal only in motoneurons allowed to reinnervate their muscle targets, suggesting that neuron–target interactions play a ro...
متن کاملMini Review Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor
Nerve growth factor (NGF) was discovered in the early 1950s due to its trophic (survivaland growth-promoting) effects on sensory and sympathetic neurons (LeviMontalcini and Hamburger, 1951). In 1982, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the second member of the “neurotrophin” family of neurotrophic factors, was shown to promote survival of a subpopulation of dorsal root ganglion neurons, a...
