Neurotrophic Peptide Expression

Meaning

Neurotrophic Peptide Expression is the fundamental cellular process of synthesizing and releasing small protein molecules, specifically neurotrophic peptides, that are essential for promoting the growth, differentiation, and long-term survival of neurons and other critical nervous system cells. The measurable expression of these peptides, such as Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), is exquisitely responsive to an individual’s hormonal status, physical activity levels, and nutritional intake. Optimal neurotrophic peptide expression is therefore a robust and objective marker of underlying brain health and sustained cognitive function.
