Shrinking: Bd50
BDNF is a type of growth factor that plays a crucial role in brain health, supporting the survival of existing neurons and encouraging the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. It's part of the neurotrophin family, which also includes NGF (nerve growth factor), NT-3 (neurotrophin-3), and NT-4.
You're referring to the shrinkage of BD50 (brain-derived neurotrophic factor 50) or more specifically, the protein BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) which is often measured in terms of its 50% effective concentration (EC50) or through its specific isoforms. shrinking bd50
The term "BD50" could refer to a specific assay or measurement related to BDNF activity or concentration. However, more commonly, researchers discuss BDNF levels or activity in terms of EC50 values in bioassays. The EC50 value indicates the dose of a drug or factor (in this case, BDNF) that is effective for half of the maximum response. BDNF is a type of growth factor that

Many of my Uncles were musicians in the Orchestra. Some were engineers, artists, and some farmers.
Good for you, you put the majority of us Brits to shame. I am in need of a masseuse, I already see a chiropractor but a massage I believe would help me. I live in Brixham so not really that far
If you’re over 50, Terry, you could pop into Age UK in Cowick Street, Exeter where Eva practices 🙂
