Obesity-related microenvironment promotes emergence of virulent influenza virus strains.
PMID: mBio. 2020 Mar 3 ;11(2). Epub 2020 Mar 3. PMID: 32127459 Abstract Title: Obesity-Related Microenvironment Promotes Emergence of Virulent Influenza Virus Strains. Abstract: Obesity is associated with increased disease severity, elevated viral titers in exhaled breath, and significantly prolonged viral shed during influenza A virus infection. Due to the mutable nature of RNA viruses, …
The results suggest that combined therapy with crocin and exercise may be protective for motor and memory deficits in Parkinson’s disease patients.
PMID: Metab Brain Dis. 2019 04 ;34(2):459-468. Epub 2019 Jan 16. PMID: 30652256 Abstract Title: Pretreatment with crocin along with treadmill exercise ameliorates motor and memory deficits in hemiparkinsonian rats by anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms. Abstract: The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are preceded by non-motorized symptoms including memory deficits. Treatment with dopamine replacement …

Rejuvenating the brain with chronic exercise through adult neurogenesis.
PMID: Front Neurosci. 2019 ;13:1000. Epub 2019 Sep 18. PMID: 31619959 Abstract Title: Rejuvenating the Brain With Chronic Exercise Through Adult Neurogenesis. Abstract: The aging brain presents a general decline in plasticity that also affects hippocampal neurogenesis. Besides the well-known reduction in the rate of neuronal generation, development of new neurons is largely delayed in …
