The effect of preventive exercise on the neuroprotection in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rat brain.
PMID: Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2019 Dec ;44(12):1267-1275. Epub 2019 Nov 6. PMID: 31691583 Abstract Title: The effect of preventive exercise on the neuroprotection in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rat brain. Abstract: Parkinson's disease is characterized by neurodegeneration and learning deficiency. Physical exercise can alleviate these symptoms by increasing the expression of some effective and relevant factors. The …

These results suggest that TRX-1-mediated hippocampal neurogenesis by β2-AR function is a potential mechanism underlying the psychotropic effect of exercise.
PMID: J Exerc Nutrition Biochem. 2019 Sep 30 ;23(3):13-21. PMID: 31743979 Abstract Title: Neurogenic effect of exercise via the thioredoxin-1/ extracellular regulated kinase/β-catenin signaling pathway mediated by β2-adrenergic receptors in chronically stressed dentate gyrus. Abstract: PURPOSE: Chronic stress is a precipitating factor for depression, whereas exercise is beneficial for both the mood and cognitive process. …
Chronic exercise modulates the cellular immunity and its cannabinoid receptors expression.
PMID: PLoS One. 2019 ;14(11):e0220542. Epub 2019 Nov 18. PMID: 31738771 Abstract Title: Chronic exercise modulates the cellular immunity and its cannabinoid receptors expression. Abstract: The impact of performing exercise on the immune system presents contrasting effects on health when performed at different intensities. In addition, the consequences of performing chronic exercise have not been …
Treadmill exercise rescues mitochondrial function and motor behavior in the CAG140 knock-in mouse model of Huntington’s disease.
PMID: Chem Biol Interact. 2020 Jan 5 ;315:108907. Epub 2019 Nov 26. PMID: 31778667 Abstract Title: Treadmill exercise rescues mitochondrial function and motor behavior in the CAGknock-in mouse model of Huntington's disease. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by polyglutamine (CAG) expansion in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. The CAGknock-in …
