Consumption of an anthocyanin-rich extract increases circulating BDNF and BDNF gene expression in healthy subjects consuming a high fat meal

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the effects of an anthocyanin-rich extract on BDNF levels after a high fat meal.
• Healthy subjects consumed a high fat meal
• Participants took an anthocyanin-rich extract
• Circulating BDNF levels and gene expression were measured
• Circulating BDNF levels increased after consumption of the extract
• BDNF gene expression also rose following the high fat meal
