Exercise-Induced Overexpression of Angiogenic Factors and Reduction of Ischemia / Reperfusion Injury in Stroke

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if exercise could induce expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin 1 and 2, in association with angiogenesis; and if angiogenic changes correlated with reduced brain injury in stroke. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (3 month old, n=44) were exercised on a treadmill 30 minutes each day for 1, 3 or 6 weeks, or housed as non-exercised controls for 3 weeks. Some 3 week-exercised rats were then housed for an additional 3 weeks. Exercise signif… Show more

“…These trophic factors generate more abundant neuronal and synaptic networks, and they have also been shown to be protective of the neural and cerebrovascular systems. BDNF and NGF mRNA levels have been shown to be upregulated following several weeks of continuous exercise (Ding et al, 2004b), which has been specifically seen in astrocytes and neuronal cells. In addition, providing exercise in an enriched environment, including running wheels, toy balls, ladders, and wooden planks, increased synaptogenesis and neurologic functioning even more than previously seen with basic exercise preconditioning, which was also associated with an increase in BDNF and NGF mRNA levels (Neeper et al, 1996;Ickes et al, 2000).…”

“…Through its beneficial effects on hypertension, lipid profiles, obesity, and diabetes, exercise training has been associated with decreased stroke incidence and better outcomes after stroke (Evenson et al, 1999;Gillum et al, 1996;Hu et al, 2004). Despite risk factor management, exercise has also been shown to provide endogenous neuroprotection, preserving neuronal viability in the setting of ischemia/ reperfusion injury, resulting in decreased infarct volume and improved neurologic recovery (Chaudhry et al, 2010;Curry et al, 2009;Davis et al, 2007;Ding et al, 2004aDing et al, , 2004bDing et al, , 2005Ding et al, , 2006aDing et al, , 2006bGuo et al, 2008a;Liebelt et al, 2010;Zwagerman et al, 2010aZwagerman et al, , 2010b. These beneficial endogenous effects of exercise preconditioning have been seen even after multivariate analysis has controlled for risk factor alterations (Hu et al, 2005).…”
