BDNF genotype moderates the relation between physical activity and depressive symptoms.

Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association - 1 Mar 2010

Mata Jutta, Thompson Renee J, Gotlib Ian H

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To test whether the BDNF gene interacts with exercise to predict depressive symptoms. Physical activity is associated with a range of positive health outcomes, including fewer depressive symptoms. One plausible mechanism underlying these findings involves Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein hypothesized to limit or repair the damage caused by stress. Physical activity increases...
