“…BDNF is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. BDNF has an important influence on the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes because it modulates the secretion and activities of insulin, leptin, ghrelin, neurotransmitters/neuropeptides and pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with energy homeostasis (63). Animal studies have also shown that BDNF has important effects on the regulation of eating behaviour, suggesting that BDNF may play a pathogenic role in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes in humans (64).…”

“…It has been reviewed that animals having BDNF deficiency, also have important influence on the regulation of eating behavior and modulation of the secretion and activities of insulin, leptin, ghrelin and proinflammatory cytokines associated with energy homeostasis (Fig. 2) [24][25][26]. Epidemiologic studies also indicate that patients with type 2 diabetes are at greater risk of depression in association with lower serum BDNF levels compared to non-diabetic individuals [24,[27][28][29].…”

“…The number of patients diagnosed with diabetes and obesity has increased significantly in recent years [4]. DM leads to islet dysfunction, causing a series of comprehensive metabolic disorders associated with sugars, proteins, fats, or electrolytes [5], and the appearance of high blood sugar causes glycosuria [6]. Although the symptoms of each type of diabetes are generally similar, the causes and population distributions differ.…”
