Serum Bdnf

The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate the potential of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as a biomarker in poststroke depressive mood in subacute stroke patients. Thirty-eight subacute stroke patients were recruited in this study. All participants underwent the standard rehabilitation program that included 2 h of physical therapy daily and 1 h of occupational therapy five days a week. The rehabilitation period lasted two weeks during the subacute stroke phase. We measured the serum BDNF, proBDNF, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 before and one and two weeks after the standard rehabilitation program. In addition, all participants were assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF) for depressive mood at three time points. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between serum BDNF levels and the GDS-SF. The GDS-SF showed significant improvement during the standard rehabilitation program period (p < 0.05). The GDS-SF was significantly correlated with serum BDNF levels at each time point (p < 0.05). These results suggest that serum BDNF may be used as a biomarker for depressive mood in subacute stroke patients. However, further studies with larger study populations are needed to clarify these results.
