Neural
Serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) significantly increased in the TRF group.
Increased BDNF levels may indicate improved brain function related to eating behaviors in women undergoing TRF.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Serum levels of BDNF were significantly increased in the TRF group (P < 0.001).
Why this rating
The study is a randomized clinical trial with significant results.
