Type 2 Diabetes a fast growing health problems is influenced by a number of factors like genetic, personal and environmental factors. BDNF a potent Neurotrophin along with its receptor TrkB play an important role in influencing the signaling and insulin production pathways. SNPs on these molecules result in non binding of the two and decreased production of BDNF. Potent plant ligands can bind with BDNF and help in effective functioning of pathways. Curcumin a plant ligand from Curcuma longa exhibits an effective binding with BDNF and increases its levels in blood. The binding capacity was analyzed by docking analysis.
