Neurotrophic Support

Meaning

Neurotrophic support refers to the biological processes and molecular factors that promote the survival, development, and functional maintenance of neurons and their connections within the central and peripheral nervous systems. This support is primarily mediated by neurotrophic factors, a family of secreted proteins that act on specific neuronal receptors to regulate cell growth, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. Optimal neurotrophic support is essential for cognitive function, mood regulation, and preventing neurodegeneration.
