    Early treatment of ischemic stroke is one of the most effective ways to reduce brains' cell death and promote functional recovery. This study was designed to examine the effect of aerobic exercise on post ischemia/reperfusion injury on concentration and expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) after inducing a neuronal loss in CA1 region of hippocampus in Male Wistar rats. Three experimental groups including sham(S), ischemia/reperfusion-control (IRC) and ischemia/reperfusion exercise (IRE) were used for this purpose. The rats in the IRE group received a bilateral carotid artery occlusion treatment. They ran for 45 minutes on a treadmill five days per week for eight consecutive weeks. Cresyl violet (Nissl), Hematoxylin (H & E) and Eosin staining procedure were used to determine the extent of damage. A ladder rung walking task was used to assess the functional impairments and recovery after the ischemic lesion. ELISA and immunohistochemistry method were employed to measure BDNF and VEGF protein expressions. The result showed that the brain ischemia/reperfusion condition increased the cell death in hippocampal CA1 neurons and impaired motor performance on the ladder rung task whereas the aerobic exercise program significantly decreased the brain cell's death and improved motor skill performance. It was concluded that ischemic brain lesion decreased the BDNF and VEGF expression. It seems that the aerobic exercise following the ischemia/reperfusion potentially promotes neuroprotective mechanisms and neuronal repair and survival mediated partly by BDNF and other pathways.

    Neuroprotective effects of pre-ischemic exercise are linked to expression of NT-3/NT-4 and TrkB/TrkC in rats
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Moghanlou, Abdorreza Eghbal; Yazdanian, Mohtaram; Roshani, Sajad; Demirli, Abdullah; Seydyousefi, Mehdi; Metz, Gerlinde A. S.; Faghfoori, Zeinab
    Introduction and objective: Stroke causes irreversible damage, particularly to the hippocampus. Evidence suggests that exercise training may mitigate adverse structural and functional consequences of an ischemic lesion in the brain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of preconditioning exercise on expression of neurotrophic factor genes and proteins in hippocampalCA1 region and their relationship with sensorimotor recovery following global ischemia/reperfusion (Is/Re) injury in a rat model of stroke.Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to Exercise+Ischemia/Reperfusion (Ex+Is/Re),Con-trol+Ischemia/Reperfusion (Co+Is/Re), and Sham treatments. Rats in the exercise groups ran on a treadmill for 45 min/d for five days/week for 8 consecutive weeks prior to Is/Re lesion.Ischemia was induced by common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO). The ladder rung walking task was used to assess functional impairments and recovery following ischemic lesion.Tissue from hippocampal area CA1 was inspected for ischemia-induced cell loss and gene and protein expression linked to neurotrophins NT-3, NT-4, and their receptorsTrkB and TrkC. Results: CCAO caused hippocampal cell death in CA1 and resulted in significant sensori motor impairments in the ladder rung walking task. In contrast, pre-ischemic exercise considerably reduced cell death and supported sensorimotor recovery following CCAO.In addition, NT-3, NT-4,TrkB and TrkC gene expression and their protein levels were significantly increased inthe Ex+Is/Re group compared to Co+Is/Re (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The findings showed that pre-ischemic exercise can exert neuroprotective effects via NT-3 and NT-4 pathways against ischemia in hippocampal CA1 neurons and promote post-injury sensorimotor recovery.
