Semax BDNF Increase

Meaning

The precise pharmacological action of the synthetic peptide Semax, which is a heptapeptide fragment of the endogenous Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), to specifically and measurably elevate the concentration of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) within the central nervous system. BDNF is a critical neurotrophin that promotes the survival of existing neurons and actively encourages the growth, differentiation, and branching of new neurons and synapses. This powerful mechanism is central to Semax’s profound potential for robust cognitive enhancement and comprehensive neuroprotection.
