However, glutamate in the fibers and synapses was mainly unchanged, and the proteins regulating glutamate exocytosis showed variable changes which could compensate each other and maintain glutamate release at the unchanged level. In addition, we revealed downregulation of NMDA-receptor subunit GluN2B and upregulation of AMPA-receptor GluA2 subunit, which could also prevent overexcitation and support cell survival in the hippocampus of aging KM rats.

This research article has two primary purposes. First, we aim to review the existing literature on the intersection between resistance (strength) training, molecular markers of neuroplasticity, and dysphagia rehabilitation. Specifically, we discuss the molecular mechanisms of two potential molecular markers: brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in exercise-induced neuroplasticity. Second, we present preliminary data on the effects of two weeks of detraining on circulating serum BDNF, IGF-1 levels, and expiratory muscle strength. This subset is a part of our more extensive studies related to dysphagia-targeted resistance exercise and neuroplasticity. Five young adult males underwent four weeks of expiratory muscle strength training, followed by two weeks of detraining. We measured expiratory strength, circulating levels of BDNF, and IGF-1 at post-training and detraining conditions. Our results show that expiratory muscle strength, serum BDNF, and IGF-1 levels decreased after detraining; however, this effect was statistically significant only for serum BDNF levels. Oropharyngeal and upper airway musculature involved in swallowing undergoes similar adaptation patterns to skeletal muscles during physical exercise. To fully comprehend the mechanisms underlying the potential neuroplastic benefits of targeted exercise on swallowing functions, mechanistic studies (models) investigating neuroplasticity induced by exercises addressing dysphagia are critical. Such models would ensure that interventions effectively and efficiently achieve neuroplastic benefits and improve patient outcomes, ultimately advancing our understanding of dysphagia-targeted exercise-induced neuroplasticity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9083,"journal":{"name":"Brain Research","volume":"1846 ","pages":"Article 149287"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142494951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
