Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a specific astrocytic marker in the central nervous
system. Few studies on the effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) …

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a survival-promoting factor for a subset of
nociceptive small-diameter neurons, has been shown to exert analgesic effects on …

To reveal roles of neurotrophic factors in plastic changes of the primary afferent neurons
following nerve injury, we investigated expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic …

Neurotrophic factors, such as nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, are
members of the structurally related neurotrophin family that play important roles in pain …

In an attempt to clarify whether glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a survival
factor for subpopulations of primary afferent neurons, is involved in the states of neuropathic …

Study Design. Biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses by the human intervertebral
disc (IVD) cells and tissues. Objective. To examine the expression of glial cell line-derived …

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is involved in inflammation and pain, roles
which remain to be delineated clinically. We aimed to evaluate the role of central nervous …

Peripheral nerve injury leads to the activation of spinal cord astrocytes, which contribute to
maintaining neuropathic (NP) pain behavior. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), a …

Study design: Case series. Objectives: To evaluate relationships between spinal cord
stimulation (SCS) parameters and levels of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) …

It is now well established that nerve growth factor (NGF) plays a key role in inflammation-
induced hyperalgesia. It was also reported that brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) …
