1 4-methylcatechol increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor content and mRNA expression in cultured brain cells and in rat brain in vivo. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
2 In the present study, we investigated the effects of 4-methylcatechol (4-MC), which stimulates nerve growth factor synthesis and protects against peripheral neuropathies in rats, on BDNF content and mRNA expression in cultured brain cells and in vivo in the rat brain. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
3 In the present study, we investigated the effects of 4-methylcatechol (4-MC), which stimulates nerve growth factor synthesis and protects against peripheral neuropathies in rats, on BDNF content and mRNA expression in cultured brain cells and in vivo in the rat brain. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
4 4-MC elevated BDNF content in culture media of both rat astrocytes and neurons with different dose-response relations. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
5 The increase in BDNF mRNA level was correlated with the increase in BDNF content, demonstrating that 4-MC can stimulate BDNF synthesis of both neurons and astrocytes. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
6 The increase in BDNF mRNA level was correlated with the increase in BDNF content, demonstrating that 4-MC can stimulate BDNF synthesis of both neurons and astrocytes. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
7 The increase in BDNF mRNA level was correlated with the increase in BDNF content, demonstrating that 4-MC can stimulate BDNF synthesis of both neurons and astrocytes. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
8 First, we found that ventricularly administered 4-MC facilitated an increase in the BDNF content in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus in association with its diffusion into the brain parenchyma. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
9 These results demonstrate that 4-MC, once delivered into the brain, can stimulate BDNF synthesis. 4-methylcatechol brain-derived neurotrophic factor Rattus norvegicus
