As a result of low brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), most people with depression exhibit neuronal loss, learning disabilities, and reduced production of new hippocampal neurons.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) manages glucose and energy metabolism and controls exhaustion of β cells. Reduced levels of BDNF are associated with neurodegenerative disorders with neuronal loss, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.
