Moosedogger, While low BDNF doesn't cause AD, it's associated with it and many other neurodegenerative conditions. Elevating neurotrophin levels would almost certainly help AD patients, even if it doesn't actually halt or reverse its progression. Compared to what's available now (essentially zilch) that would be a huge step forward.
Here's a related article on BDNF/AD. Also, look on PubMed for tons of info on BDNF and its actions -
