Background Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophic factor expressed in
several tissues, including the brain, gut, and pancreas. Activation of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in working age adults. DR has non-
proliferative stages, characterized in part by retinal neuroinflammation and ischemia, and …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a devastating complication of diabetes with a prevalence rate of
35%, and no effective treatment options. Since the most visible clinical features of DR are …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine aqueous humor and serum levels of brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy …

Purpose: To determine brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in serum and
aqueous humor (AH) and to assess the relationship between BDNF levels and retinal layer …

Purpose This study was designed to compare the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF) in the serum and aqueous humor (AH) of patients with primary open-angle …

The role of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) in atherosclerosis has been investigated. The
aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis that higher levels of serum fatty acid-binding …

Objective To compare the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with healthy controls (HC) and evaluate the BDNF levels …

Purpose: Extremely preterm infants are at increased risk for retinopathy of prematurity
(ROP). We previously identified several inflammatory proteins that were expressed early in …

Introduction: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which is involved in neurogenesis,
phenotypic differentiation, and neuronal survival is gaining traction in the field of gerontology …
