  • Platelet BDNF was higher in patients (2950.5 ± 749.1 pg/ml) with respect to controls (2481.6 ± 1063.8 pg/ml) but the difference was not statistically significant. (bmj.com)
  • Conclusions Our finding of a lack of significant difference in platelet BDNF between HD and controls could suggest along with recent studies on human blood that peripheral levels of BDNF are not informative as HD biomarkers. (bmj.com)
  • However, the correlation between BDNF platelet levels and disease duration might indicate that the peripheral BDNF levels can fluctuate in different phases of the disease. (bmj.com)
