AB  - Although depression has been associated with decreased brain-derived neurotrophic 
      factor (BDNF) levels for specific personality traits, there is a little 
      information regarding the association between peripheral BDNF levels and such 
      traits. The sample consisted of 178 healthy Japanese subjects (age range, 37.4 +/- 
      11.5 years). All subjects filled out the Temperament and Character Inventory 
      (TCI). Plasma BDNF levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent 
      assay. A simple regression analysis revealed that plasma BDNF levels were 
      significantly correlated with harm avoidance (r=-0.177, p=0.018) and 
      self-directedness scores (r=0.165, p=0.028). Our findings suggest that plasma 
      BDNF levels are associated with depression-related personality traits.
