BDNF Synthesis Pathways

Meaning

These pathways describe the intricate intracellular molecular cascades responsible for the production and release of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a critical neurotrophin impacting neuronal survival and plasticity. In hormonal health, BDNF synthesis is closely linked to the influence of sex steroids and metabolic status on central nervous system integrity. Optimizing these synthesis routes is fundamental for supporting cognitive resilience and long-term neurological investment. We are examining the cellular machinery that generates this vital signaling protein.
