Semax BDNF Modulation

Meaning

Semax BDNF modulation refers to the specific pharmacological action of the synthetic peptide Semax, a heptapeptide fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), in influencing the levels and activity of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) within the central nervous system. BDNF is a crucial neurotrophin that supports the survival of existing neurons and encourages the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. This modulation is clinically relevant for enhancing neuroplasticity, cognitive function, and resilience against neurodegenerative stress.
