The effects of endothelins (ETs) on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production in astrocytes were investigated. ET-1 (100 nM) increased the mRNA level and extracellular release of BDNF in cultured astrocytes. RT-PCR analyses using primer pairs that amplified exon-specific BDNF transcripts r
## Abstract Exposure to ethanol during development induces severe brain damage, resulting in a number of CNS dysfunctions including microencephaly and mental retardation. Potential targets of ethanolβinduced neurotoxicity include neurotrophic factors and their signal transduction pathways. In the p
