Exercise-induced a-ketoglutarate enhances spatial learning by modulating hippocampal levels of BDNF in a sex-specific manner

Al Ahmad, Perla (Lebanese American University, 2022-07-05)

Exercise promotes the release of proteins and metabolites known as exercise factors from the muscles, liver, and bones into the blood. The exercise factors increase hippocampal levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor ...
Transfusion of Plasma from Young Exercise mice ameliorates Aging-associated Cognitive Impairments on Learning and Memory through activation of Autophagy

Khoury, Reine (Lebanese American University, 2022-06-18)

The brain’s cognitive skills gradually decline with aging. In old animals, damaged proteins accumulate in neurons since autophagy, a catabolic process responsible for organelle and protein degradation, decreases. Physical ...
