Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a potential treatment for cholinergic dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In rats, NGF activates gene expression of the acetylcholine synthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and prevents age-and lesion-induced degeneration of basal forebrain (
The present work was undertaken to study the effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a potent activator of the host inflammatory response, on the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) by newborn rat brain astrocytes. Treatment of primary rat astroglial cells cultured in chemically defined med
## BACKGROUND. Nerve growth factor (NGF) immunoreactive proteins derived from human prostatic stromal cells (hPS) have been implicated in the paracrine regulation of prostate epithelial cell growth. However, mature NGFβ€ does not appear to be expressed by these cells. In order to determine whether N
The effects of treatment with a high dose of nandrolone or testosterone on nerve growth factor (NGF) levels and NGF low-affinity receptor (p75-NGFr) distribution in the brain were analyzed. Nandrolone, subcutaneously injected in rats for several weeks, caused an increase of NGF levels in the hippoca
Epithelial expression of the 75-kDa low-affinity neurotrophin receptor (p75 NTR ) is inversely associated with the malignant progression of the human prostate. To elucidate the function of p75 NTR in the prostate, the human prostate epithelial tumor cell line TSU-pr1, which does not express p75 NTR
