Intervention points for the role of physical activity in prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a growing global health challenge with limited pharmacological treatments. Epidemiological studies link regular physical activity with a lower risk of AD and cognitive decline in general, whereas randomized controlled trials show that aerobic exercise slows disease progression and improves cognitive function. However the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this review we discuss five likely intervention points through which physical activity may influence AD progression and pathology: (1) reducing neuroinflammation and amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregation, (2) enhancing clearance of Aβ aggregates, (3) increasing neuronal resilience, (4) promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and (5) strengthening cognitive reserve. Understanding which of these mechanistic links are most likely to drive the AD-protective effects of exercise could help refine lifestyle-based interventions to complement pharmacological treatments and inform future prevention strategies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physiology publishes full-length original Research Papers and Techniques for Physiology, which are short papers aimed at disseminating new techniques for physiological research. Articles solicited by the Editorial Board include Perspectives, Symposium Reports and Topical Reviews, which highlight areas of special physiological interest. CrossTalk articles are short editorial-style invited articles framing a debate between experts in the field on controversial topics. Letters to the Editor and Journal Club articles are also published. All categories of papers are subjected to peer reivew.
The Journal of Physiology welcomes submitted research papers in all areas of physiology. Authors should present original work that illustrates new physiological principles or mechanisms. Papers on work at the molecular level, at the level of the cell membrane, single cells, tissues or organs and on systems physiology are all acceptable. Theoretical papers and papers that use computational models to further our understanding of physiological processes will be considered if based on experimentally derived data and if the hypothesis advanced is directly amenable to experimental testing. While emphasis is on human and mammalian physiology, work on lower vertebrate or invertebrate preparations may be suitable if it furthers the understanding of the functioning of other organisms including mammals.
