Epigenetic Manipulation of Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor Improves Memory Deficiency Induced by Neonatal Anesthesia in Rats
11 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
AbstractAbstract The authors found a substantial reduction of hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor resulting from the transcriptional factors–mediated epigenetic modification in the promoter region of Bdnf exon IV in rats exposed postnatally to anesthetic drugs. This brain-derived neurotrophic factor reduction led to the insufficient drive for the synthesis of synaptic proteins, thus contributing to the...
