When diets fall short: link between unsuccessful weight loss and reduced BDNF levels

ObjectivesBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein essential for brain health and nutrient energy metabolism. This study aims to examine the relationship between blood BDNF levels and obesity and to assess the effect of energy-restricted diets on BDNF levels.MethodWe enrolled 233 indivi...
