BDNF Levels

Meaning

BDNF Levels quantify the circulating or localized concentration of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, a critical neurotrophin in the central nervous system. Clinically, these measurements serve as important correlates for neuroplasticity, synaptic health, and resilience against neurodegeneration. Alterations in BDNF are frequently observed alongside significant shifts in metabolic hormones and chronic stress states. Maintaining appropriate BDNF concentrations is essential for mood regulation and cognitive longevity.
