Brain-derived neurotrophic factor released as a result of strength training converts muscle fibers into strength type at the expense of endurance type

Jun 28, 2020

“> This factor is produced by the muscle itself and remodels the neuromuscular synapses, the neuronal junctions between the motor neurons and muscle. BDNF not only causes the strength muscles to develop, but at the same time leads to endurance muscle fiber number decline.”

“Each diet lasted three weeks and ended with brain imaging scans (using MRI and PET) and blood tests to measure brain blood flow and BDNF levels. They found that the ketogenic diet markedly increased ketone levels in the blood compared to the standard diet.”

Neurotrophins like BDNF may be increased as a compensation mechanism in fetal alcohol syndrome [animal research]

Jul 2, 2020

“From the article: > "We found that prenatal alcohol exposure generally increased brain neurotrophin levels in adult rats," said Berman. "This suggests that neurotrophin levels increased as compensation for damage to the developing brain from prenatal alcohol exposure. Results also demonstrated that the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure can be enduring and last into adulthood."”

Dr. Giselle Petzinger on Exercise for Parkinson's Disease

Oct 13, 2020

“00:44:08 - How serum BDNF significantly increases in Parkinson’s patients after 1 month of treadmill exercise and why this might mean better cognitive function. 1 2 00:54:52 - How treadmill exercise with heart rate 80-85% maximum for at least 3x per week slowed the progression of Parkinson’s disease symptoms.”
