Nootropic dipeptide, Noopept can modulate hyperalgesia by effecting on spinal microglia dependent Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) and pro-BDNF expression and apoptosis during persistent inflammation
Abstract:Background: There are largely unknown associations between changes in pain behavior responses during persistent peripheral inflammation and spinal cell alteration such as apoptosis. Some evidence suggests that microglia and microglia related mediators play notable roles in induction and maintenance of central nervous system pathologies and inflammatory pain. By considering those relationships and microglia related nootrophic factors, such as the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in CNS, we attempted to … Show more
