Conclusion:

The decreased production of BDNF on the part of MS patients is consistent with the literature. However, the decreased production in those with CFS was unexpected and a novel finding. This finding could reflect a reduced ability to maintain neuronal structure and function in those with CFS. Future studies are needed to evaluate for neuronal damage in those with CFS.
