Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Sarcopenia and Digital Gait Characteristics in Older Adults: Insights Into the Brain-Muscle Axis.

BACKGROUND

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a core biomarker involved in the brain-muscle axis. This study aimed to investigate the associations of plasma BDNF with sarcopenia and multidimensional gait characteristics in older adults.

METHODS

We enrolled 646 adults aged 60 years and older (mean...

Irisin, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and Redox Balance in Geriatric Dynapenia.

Irisin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are considered potential biomarkers for sarcopenia; however, their interplay and relationship with oxidative stress remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the serum concentration of irisin and BDNF in patients...

Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor concentrations are elevated in community-dwelling adults with sarcopenia.

The scalability of a blood-based sarcopenia assessment has generated interest in circulating markers that may enhance management strategies. Data regarding the relevance of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a regulator of neuroplasticity, to sarcopenia in community-dwelling adults are scarce. We...
