Cytokine hypothesis of schizophrenia pathogenesis: evidence from human studies and animal models

Y Watanabe, T Someya, H Nawa - Psychiatry and clinical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The pathogenesis of schizophrenia has yet to be fully characterized. Gene–environment
interactions have been found to play a crucial role in the vulnerability to this disease. Among …

BDNF protein measured by a novel enzyme immunoassay in normal brain and after seizure: partial disagreement with mRNA levels

H Nawa, J Carnahan, C Gall - European Journal of …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
Messenger RNA for brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is distributed in many brain
regions and regulated by excitatory neuronal activity. Despite numerous studies of BDNF …

Regional specificity of alterations in NGF, BDNF and NT-3 levels in Alzheimer's disease

…, K Wakabayashi, S Tsuji, H Takahashi, H Nawa - …, 1996 - journals.lww.com
USING two-site enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), we measured the levels of neurotrophins,

Activation of the TrkB neurotrophin receptor is induced by antidepressant drugs and is required for antidepressant-induced behavioral effects

…, K Agerman, A Haapasalo, H Nawa… - Journal of …, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent studies have indicated that exogenously administered neurotrophins produce
antidepressant-like behavioral effects. We have here investigated the role of endogenous brain-…
