Corticosterone (CORT), one of the glucocorticoids, causes neuronal damage in the hippocampus, but the mechanism(s) of action underlying its effects remains unknown. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophic factor that belongs to the neurotrophin family, affects the survival and/or

The expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tyrosine kinase B are both increased after global ischemia. Therefore, a protective action of BDNF against the delayed degeneration of vulnerable neurons has been suggested. We have investigated the neuroprotective action of
## Abstract We investigated whether certain hydrophobic dipeptides, LeuβIle, LeuβPro, and ProβIle, which partially resemble the site on FK506 that binds to immunophilin, could stimulate glial cell lineβderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) synthesis in cult
