What is a nervous growth factor?
Nervous growth factor (NGF) is a type of neurotrophine molecule that controls the creation of the nervous system in embryos and regulates the function, grow and repair of neurons in adults. To perform these roles, the NGF molecule must be attached to the neuron receptor, which is also known as a nerve cell. The symmetrical construction of the nerve growth factor molecule allows it to be attached to nerve cells by means of both sides or to connect to two cells at a time. Alpha polypeptide chains, beta polypeptide chains and gamma polypeptide chains contain NGF based on protein -based a nerve growth factor for the treatment of several disorders and diseases. Most remarkably, beta polypeptide chains NGF were successful in treating Alzheimer's disease because they stimulate cellular growth activity in nerves; Alzheimer's disease is caused by the degeneration and death of cholinergic cells. This disintegration of nerve cells slows down memory and interferes with cognitive description signals sent betweenNeurons that control feeling, thinking and movement. Physical tasks also become more difficult with the loss of these neurons.
Beta polypeptides in the nervous growth factor causes the growth and repair of neurons, which prevents them from dying. NGF cannot create new neurons; They only cause existing neurons. When a person is born, all the neurons they will ever have, which is more than 100 billion. Trauma, age and disease cause these neurons to die and create disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
In medical tests at several universities, Alzheimer's patients were shown by NGF brain injections by almost 50 percent of the disintegration of nerve cells; They also experienced the growth and repair of damaged neurons. These patients have experienced more memory and betting of Cognition. Improved neurons were able to create a new synapse or connection with other cells and improve brain thought capacity.
NGF is also used to treat spinal cord injuries, corneal ulcers in the eye and trauma heart after cardiac surgery, or heart arrest by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. Nervous growth factor antibodies are also used in medical therapy, as too many NGFs can be dangerous. Pain such as DNA, backward and inflammation of the bladder is often associated with a high concentration of nerve growth factor; Antibodies reduce pain. The excessively high level of NGF was also associated with asthma, cancer growth and deterioration of immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
