Cerebrolysin Research

Cerebrolysin Constituents

Nerve Growth Factor: An important protein for development and maintenance of neurons, specifically, neurons involved in pain, temperature, and touch sensation. Nerve growth factor functions by binding to either the NTRK1 receptor or the p75NTR receptor which are both found on the surface of sensory neurons.Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF): Protein found in the brain and spinal cord that is responsible for growth, maturation, and maintenance of neurons. In the brain, BDNF is active in the synapse and is important in regulating synaptic plasticity.Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF): A brain derived protein that promotes neuron survival and axonal outgrowth during neuronal development.Enkephalins: Functions as a ligand for the kappa-type opioid receptor. Competes with and mimics effects of opiate drugs and therefore plays a role in pain perception and response to Stress.Orexin: Functions as a ligand which binds to orphan G-protein coupled receptors that play a role in regulation of sleep and arousal as well as feeding behavior, metabolism and Homeostasis.P21: The pentamer Ac-DGGL AG-NH2 is a peptide fragment of Cerebrolysin that has been found to play a role in neurogenesis and neuronal plasticity.

Cerebrolysin has been shown to help with (according to research):

• Alzheimer’s
• Vascular dementia
• Stroke recovery
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Multiple scoliosis (MS)
• Parkinson’s
