Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid concentration of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) was measured in normal developing rat from birth to postnatal day (PND) 21 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. NGF levels were significantly higher than those of BDNF and NT-3 from PND 1-21. NGF levels decreased from PND 1-3 to PND 9. At PND 15 and 17, NGF levels peaked a second time and rapidly decreased to PND 21. BDNF peaked at PND 13-15, while NT-3 levels peaked at PND 7-9. Each of the three neurotrophins has its own characteristic pattern in changes in cerebrospinal fluid levels.Entities:
