Physical therapy intervention (PTI) increases plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in non-frail and pre-frail elderly women

TL;DR: The low levels of BDNF in pre-frail elderly women suggest that this neurotrophic factor may be a key pathophysiological mediator in the syndrome of frailty, and the fact that PTI increased BDNF levels in both groups suggests that it may be possible to modify this phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of physical exercise on plasma levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and depressive symptoms in elderly women--a randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: The present findings have demonstrated the positive effect of muscle strengthening and aerobic intervention on depressive symptoms in community-dwelling elderly women and Interestingly, only SE significantly increased the plasma levels of BDNF in the authors' sample.
