BDNF
A neurotrophic factor released as an exerkine during exercise, mediating the protective effects of exercise on the nervous system.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Exerkines are various signaling molecules released during exercise by skeletal muscle, liver, adipose tissue and others, including IL-6, irisin and BDNF.
Aerobic exercise has been shown to promote the secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which in turn supports hippocampal neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.
