| Description: |
Introduction: The brain derived neurotrophic factor is a neurotrophin modulator of cognitive processes. Current studies in Alzheimer’s disease patients show alterations in biomarkers at outlying levels. Objective: To analyze the association between the serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels and the cognitive markers in Alzheimer’s disease subjects. Material and Methods: A correlational transversal study was conducted in subjects aged 64 years, distributed into three groups: group 1ː16 controls, group 2ː27 with mild cognitive impairment, and group 3ː21 with Alzheimer’s disease. A neuropsychological test battery, and the immunoenzymatic method (ELISA), Promega Emax Kit were applied to determine the serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. The statistical analysis of data was performed using the one-way ANOVA test, the post-hoc Dunnett´s test and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient (p |
