Aerobic Exercise Does Not Predict Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor And Cortisol Alterations in Depressed Patients

Abstract: The pathophysiology of depression is related to neurobiological changes that occur in the monoamine system, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, neurogenesis system and the neuroimmune system. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the research of the effects of exercise on brain function, with a special focus on its effects on brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), cortisol and other biomarkers. Thus, the aim of this study is to present a review investigating the acute and chronic effects of … Show more

“…The relationship among BDNF, sleep and depression has been speculated. A low neurotrophic activity is associated with a reduced number of cells in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and decreased hippocampal size, indicating that BDNF may play an important role in the development of depression [ 12 ]. Some authors speculate that BDNF has a potential role in the pathology and treatment of numerous psychiatric disorders [ 2 ].…”

“…It has been speculating the relationship between BDNF, sleep and depression. There is evidence that BDNF levels influence sleep patterns in individuals with depression [ 12 ]. Some authors postulate that increasing BDNF levels may improve the sleep quality of depressed subjects, and in these cases the BDNF levels make a difference in the results found in treatment.…”
