Memory biomarkers confirm aerobic exercise helps cognitive function in older adults ANI | Updated: Jun 14, 2021 09:31 IST
Washington [US], June 14 (ANI): Until now, systemic biomarkers to measure exercise effects on brain function and that link to relevant metabolic responses were lacking. A recent study shows a memory biomarker, myokine Cathepsin B (CTSB), increased in older adults following a 26-week structured aerobic exercise training.
The positive association between CTSB and cognition, and the substantial modulation of lipid metabolites implicated in dementia, support the beneficial effects of exercise training on brain function and brain health in asymptomatic individuals at risk for Alzheimer s.
Increasing evidence shows that physical activity and exercise training may delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer s disease (AD). In ageing humans, aerobic exercise training increases grey and white matter volume enhances blood flow and impr

Increasing evidence shows that physical activity and exercise training may delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer s disease (AD). In aging humans, aerobic exercise training increases gray and white matter volume, enhances blood flow, and improves memory function. The ability to measure the effects of exercise on systemic biomarkers associated with risk for AD and relating them to key metabolomic alterations may further prevention, monitoring, and treatment efforts. However, systemic biomarkers that can measure exercise effects on brain function and that link to relevant metabolic responses are lacking.

This type of sleep can lead to a slew of health problems, according to me to sing. MD Medical director for the Henry ford Sleep lab like diabetes, depression and high blood pressure. You have to find the source of the problem, which could be many things like having a drink before bed, having a full bladder or even your partner snoring loudly. Make sure you re sleeping in a comfortable environment that promotes sleep because if your room is loc
Calling all those who are sleep-deprived: We interrupt your yawns with an important announcement. If you re trying to get by on about six hours or less of sleep a night during the workweek, you re setting up your brain for future failure, according to a new study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. After following nearly 8,000 people for 25 years, the study found a higher dementia risk with a sleep duration of six hours or less at age 50 and 60 as compared to those who slept seven hours a night. In addition, persistent short sleep duration between the ages of 50, 60 and 70 was also associated with a 30 per cent increased dementia risk, independent of sociodemographic, behavioural, cardiometabolic, and mental health factors, including depression, the study said.
