dc.description.abstractEarly 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.
