1 | In the present study we hypothesized that serum BDNF concentration is associated with in vivo level of cerebral N-acetylaspartate (NAA), a well established marker of neuronal integrity. | N-acetylaspartate | brain derived neurotrophic factor | Homo sapiens |
2 | In the present study we hypothesized that serum BDNF concentration is associated with in vivo level of cerebral N-acetylaspartate (NAA), a well established marker of neuronal integrity. | N-acetylaspartate | brain derived neurotrophic factor | Homo sapiens |
3 | RESULTS: The BDNF serum concentrations were positively associated with the concentrations of NAA (T = 2.193, p = .037) and total choline (T = 1.997, p = .055; trend) but not total creatine or glutamate in the ACC. | N-acetylaspartate | brain derived neurotrophic factor | Homo sapiens |
4 | CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary data might indicate that BDNF serum concentration reflects some aspects of neuronal plasticity as indicated by its association with NAA level in the cerebral cortex. | N-acetylaspartate | brain derived neurotrophic factor | Homo sapiens |
