The role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor during Parkinson's disease

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a widespread neurologic disorder. The mechanisms involved in the generation of PD are probably multifactorial and are not fully understood. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin implicated in generating and modulating PD. The present study aimed to investigate the role and importance of brain neurotrophic factors in the clinical course of PD.
