Abstract

Considering the rising aging of the population, studies on prevention/treatment of neurodegenerative diseases are actually of great importance; these diseases promote a high negative impact on the quality of life and on the economy. Clinically characterized by progressive loss of memory, cognitive impairment, and changes in social/occupational function, Alzheimer's disease (AD) leads to dementia, and eventually to death. AD not related to genetic inheritance is the most frequent; sedentary lifestyle, high body mass index, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are risk factors to AD. Studies in humans have suggested that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD. However, the molecular mechanisms induced by physical exercise are not yet known. Then, the aims of present project are to evaluate: 1) myokines released by human skeletal muscle, in different intensities of exercise, whose present a neuroprotective effect against toxicity associated to DA; 2) if these myokines stimulate mechanisms of beta-amyloid oligomer clearance; 3) if aspects related to mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stresses are associated with myokine release; 4) whether mitochondrial changes induced in exercised skeletal muscle are also induced in neuronal cells (a potential crosstalking mitochondria-mitochondria). Cellular models (myotubes and neurons) and transgenic mice for AD, exercised in running will be used. As not all individuals can exercise because circumstances of disease or senescence-related fragility, the identification of peripheral factors and mechanisms that promote the effects of exercise on the brain can lead to therapies that protect against the development of AD.
