(A), 19.7610.7 ng/mL (S)] which were not significantly different from each other (p1⁄40.33). Increases in serum and CSF levels of BDNF were not significantly correlated. Serum BDNF levels did not significantly correlate with age, MMSE, or VO2max. Conclusion: These preliminary results, on this ongoing study, suggest an equal effect on BDNF levels with stretch or aerobic exercise in older adults. Other behavioral factors including diet and sleep patterns, which have also been shown to affect BDNF levels, are likely to be attributing factors.
