Nerve growth factor prevents or reduces neuronal degeneration in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases and these encouraging results in animals have led to several clinical trials in humans.[22] NGF promotes peripheral nerve regeneration in rats.[23] The expression of NGF is increased in inflammatory diseases where it suppresses inflammation.[24] NGF appears to promote myelin repair.[25] Hence NGF may be useful for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.[26] NGF could also be involved in various psychiatric disorders, such as dementia, depression, schizophrenia, autism, Rett syndrome, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa.[27]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4466.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4466.txt
