“In addition, their BDNF increased, and their peripheral insulin decreased. These findings suggest that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA increase the Omega-3 Index and improve multiple markers of brain health and cognitive function in older adults.”

“The omega-3 and B12 also increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which both also help grow new brain cells and maintain the blood-brain barrier.”

“Both the DHA-containing diet and the injected DHA increased levels of hypothalamic neurogenesis at rates similar to or superior to those observed with BDNF. These findings suggest that dietary intake of PUFAs such as DHA show promise as a strategy to ameliorate hypothalamic neuronal losses associated with obesity.”

“Studies have found that people with it maintain their usual mental sharpness longer than those without it when neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's and multiple sclerosis are present. > "It's as if nature is trying to determine the best approach," Cramer said.”

“Exercise also improved disease severity (analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials). Some of the mechanisms include exercise-induced production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), IGF-1, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters.”

“In turn, irisin activated BDNF and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), reducing inflammation and blocking the activity of BACE-1, an enzyme critical for amyloid-beta production. Then, they studied the effects of irisin on microglia.”

“They assessed the participants' fatigue, attention, anxiety, and other aspects of work performance and mental health status. They also measured serum concentrations of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a type of neurotrophin – or growth factor – that controls and promotes the growth of new neurons.”

“From the article: > Verbal learning and memory correlated positively with change in cathepsin B (CTSB) but was not related to BDNF or klotho. The present correlation between CTSB and verbal learning and memory suggests that CTSB may be useful as a marker for cognitive changes relevant to hippocampal function after exercise in a population at risk for dementia.[...]”

“Lactate, once thought to cause muscle fatigue, now shown to be shuttled into other tissues such as the brain where it is used as energy. Lactate also acts as a signaling molecule that can gene expression and has been shown to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).”

“Several studies have shown that aerobic exercise causes a robust increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which increases the growth of new neurons and likely explains the increase in brain volume these people experienced.”
