Vitamin D3 and some metabolically active precursors are potent inducers of the synthesis of NGF at concentrations of 100 picoM. This may have implications for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases with NGF.

Another little tidbit found there that clarifies a lot of things
Quote:
The cytokines IL1, IL6, and bFGF are potent inducers of NGF. NGF induces the synthesis of IL1 in pheochromocytoma cells (see: PC12) which in turn acts as a growth factor for glial cells and induces the synthesis of NGF following nerve injuries.
