Neurotrophin-Dependent Mechanism[edit | edit source]

Neurotrophins are regulative proteins that are expressed in the nervous system. Their neuronal functions are diverse, ranging from neurogenesis to programmed cell death. [1]

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophins family known for it's role in inducing plastic changes that regulate neuronal growth, excitability, and even regeneration. [2] [3]A study [4] found a correlation between serum levels of BDNF and exercise intensity in humans with spinal injury.
