The Impact of Physical Exercise on the Circulating Levels of BDNF and NT 4/5: A...
Ribeiro, Daniel; Petrigna, Luca; Pereira, Frederico C.; Muscella, Antonella; Bianco, Antonino; Tavares, Paula(1) Background: One mechanism through which physical activity (PA) provides benefits is by triggering activity at a molecular level, where neurotrophins (NTs) are known to play an important role.

Therefore, the aim was ...
