  • Method of treating depression using neurotrophins
    Patent number: 5599560
    Abstract: Infusion of neurotrophins, preferably brain-derived neurotrophic factor, are shown to be effective agents for use in the alleviation of symptoms of depression, as demonstrated by reduction of "despair" in the animal forced swim test. Alterations in serotonin levels brought about by neurotrophins suggest use of these factors for the treatment of other disorders caused by defects in serotonin activity.
