Autophagy Mediates the Effects of Physical Exercise on Learning and Memory through Activation of Hippocampal BDNF by Jabr, Vanessa

“…In this study, we demonstrated that a short-term voluntary exercise paradigm is sufficient to upregulate autophagy in different brain regions in an age-dependent manner. This increase in autophagy was correlated with enhanced spatial learning and memory formation particularly in mature adult mice (10-week-old). …”

Programming Effects of Short Prenatal Exposure to Dexamethasone in Sheep by Abouantoun, Tamara

“…The aims of the present study were to see whether prenatal dexamethasone administered intravenously to the ewe between 26 to 28 days of gestation (1) resulted in high blood pressure in male and female offspring and whether hypertension in males was modulated by testosterone status, and (2) altered gene expression for angiotensinogen and angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptors in the brain in late gestation and in the adult. Basal mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 2 years of age was significantly higher in wethers exposed to prenatal dexamethasone (group D; 106 5 mm Hg, n9) compared with the control group (group S; 91 3 mm Hg, n8; P0.01). …”
