Repeated short-term daily exercise ameliorates oxidative cerebral damage and the resultant motor dysfunction after transient ischemia in rats

Abstract: Long-term exercise prior to brain ischemia enhances the activities of antioxidant enzymes and leads to a significant reduction in brain damage and neurological deficits in rats subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. However, it has not been established whether relatively short-term exercise generates similar results following middle cerebral artery occlusion. We aimed to determine whether short-term exercise could reduce oxidative damage and prevent sensori-motor dysfunction. Male Wistar rats… Show more

“…Regarding RT, the studies have shown that low to moderate RT intensity improves the activity of antioxidant enzymes (increase in SOD, GSH, GPX, and CAT levels, while a reduction in MDA levels) in the skeletal muscle, which is consistent with the results of the present study (24). The findings of the present study are consistent with the study of Hamakawa et al (25). It seems that adjusting the levels of antioxidant enzymes due to exercise depends on the high amount of oxidative stress in the skeletal muscle (25).…”

“…The findings of the present study are consistent with the study of Hamakawa et al (25). It seems that adjusting the levels of antioxidant enzymes due to exercise depends on the high amount of oxidative stress in the skeletal muscle (25). Possibly, the increase in these enzymes following exercise will result in a further increase in lipid peroxidation and free radical production.…”

“…In line with this, preclinical studies have demonstrated that prestroke preconditioning with PA in patients with cerebral ischemia reduces neuronal apoptosis, oxidative damage, inflammatory response, blood-brain-barrier dysfunction, and capillary dysfunction [14,15,24,25,26]. Our main hypothesis was that recent prestroke PA alone could protect the ischemic brain and reduce acute cerebral infarct growth, final infarct size and thus improve functional outcomes.…”

“…The results showed that exercise reduced apoptosis and cerebral infarction (21). Hamakawa et al showed that three weeks of pre-training along with exercise reduced oxidative stress markers and increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes, which was associated with reduced infarct volume and improved neurological functional outcomes after ischemic damage (22). Finally, it can be concluded that exercise activity in the present study was able to exert its protective effects by altering the expression of the target genes.…”
