What is Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)?

BDNF is a naturally occurring protein molecule in the body that protects and maintains optimal brain function.

MUJN is the first to launch and offer a BDNF assessment that provides accurate measurement of blood BDNF levels in minutes.

MUJN's Rapid BDNF Assessment empowers you to monitor BDNF levels with utmost convenience.

As practitioners, you understand that early intervention therapies can make a significant difference in promoting better brain health and overall well-being.

Why BDNF Matters?

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a pivotal protein that acts as a growth factor for nerve cells within the brain.

 

Testing BDNF levels paramount importance for brain health. 

 


Neuroplasticity

BDNF is the linchpin of neuroplasticity—the brain’s innate ability to adapt and rewire itself. Elevated BDNF levels are associated with enhanced learning, memory, and cognitive flexibility.


Mood Regulation

BDNF plays a pivotal role in mood regulation. Low BDNF levels have been connected to conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.


Neuroprotection

BDNF serves as a guardian of your brain cells, shielding them from damage and promoting their survival. It’s crucial in warding off age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions.


Potential for Intervention

By gauging BDNF levels, you can promptly identify potential imbalances. This, in turn, enables timely interventions such as physical exercise, mindfulness practices, or appropriate medications, which can boost BDNF levels and foster optimal brain health.

Low levels of BDNF
have been linked to:

Cognitive Decline &
Stress

Neurodegenerative Disorders (Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s Disease)

 Mood Disorders
(Depression, Anxiety)

BDNF Unveiled: A Glimpse into Its Role in Major Depression Disorder

Recent scientific research has unveiled the profound significance of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a neurotrophin that stands as a pivotal player in the intricate world of neurons, their survival, and development. However, BDNF's relevance extends far beyond its role in maintaining the health of neurons. It has been intricately linked to various neurological conditions, notably including Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder.

The association between BDNF and major depressive disorder has been a focal point of extensive research. A wealth of studies emphasizes the critical relationship between diminished BDNF levels and the heightened prevalence of depressive symptoms, neuronal loss, and cortical atrophy. Furthermore, there exists compelling evidence that antidepressive therapy can play a restorative role in reviving BDNF levels.
