Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a possible anti-obesity and anti-diabetes agent with its anorectic and hypoglycemic effect. Recently BDNF is considered as one of myokines which is produced in skeletal muscle. We demonstrated that BDNF reduces blood glucose level via suppression of glucagon secretion from pancreas. In addition, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) induces BDNF release from human platelets through the activation of the Src family kinase pathway (Furukawa, K. et al. Cardiovasc Diabetol. 2017;16(1):20). Considering the toxic action of AGEs and the protective roles of BDNF, it can be hypothesized that AGE-induced BDNF release is a biological defense system in the early phase of diabetes. Chronic elevation of AGEs may induce depletion or downregulation of BDNF in platelets during the progression of diabetes mellitus.
