Bidirectional effects of voluntary exercise on the expression of Bdnf isoforms in the hippocampus of Hatano rat strains displaying different activity levels. [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacol Rep, 2023 Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor has functional mRNA isoforms, whose expression is assumed to mediate the beneficial effects of exercise in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Orexin neurons mediate temptation-resistant voluntary exercise. [PDF]
Nat NeurosciAbstractDespite the well-known health benefits of physical activity, many people underexercise; what drives the prioritization of exercise over alternative options is unclear. We developed a task that enabled us to study how mice freely and rapidly alternate between wheel running and other voluntary activities, such as eating palatable food.

Voluntary exercise could reduce sperm malformations by improving hypothalamus-hypophysis-gonadal axis and kisspeptin/leptin signaling in type 2 diabetic rats [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021 Objective(s): Most male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experience infertility. It is well established that regular physical activity could alleviate diabetic infertility symptoms.

Voluntary exercise improves spermatogenesis and testicular apoptosis in type 2 diabetic rats through alteration in oxidative stress and mir-34a/SIRT1/p53 pathway [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021 Objective(s): This research was designed to demonstrate the impact of voluntary exercise on sperm parameters including sperm count, morphology, motility, viability, testicular apoptosis, oxidative stress, and the mir-34a/SIRT1/p53 pathway in type 2 ...

Spontaneous physical activity down-regulates Pax7 in cancer cachexia [PDF]
, 2015 Emerging evidence suggests that the muscle microenvironment plays a prominent role in cancer cachexia. We recently showed that NF-kB - induced Pax7 overexpression impairs the myogenic potential of muscle precursors in cachectic mice, suggesting that ...

Voluntary Exercise Increases Oligodendrogenesis in Spinal Cord [PDF]
International Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 Exercise has been shown to increase hippocampal neurogenesis, but the effects of exercise on oligodendrocyte generation have not yet been reported. In this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that voluntary exercise may affect neurogenesis, and more in particular, oligodendrogenesis in the thoracic segment of the intact spinal cord of adult nestin-GFP ...

Influence of voluntary exercise on hypothalamic norepinephrine [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1998 We combined hypothalamic tissue and plasma determinations of norepinephrine, dihydroxyphenylalanine, and dihydroxyphenylglycol with measurements of abdominal fat in voluntary running rats to examine the relationship among exercise training, hypothalamic and sympathetic nervous function, and body fat stores.
