| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of exercise and the inhibition of GABAegic synapses on the expression of neurotrophins in the mouse motor cortex. After the intervention compromising exercise and GABAA receptpr blockage for 10 days, where exercise significantly increased the expression of BDNF and NT-4, GABAA receptor blockade of sedentary mice showed no effect on the expression of the neurotrophins. On the contrary, GABAA receptor blockade of exercised mice significantly decreased the expression of BDNF and NT-4 to the level of sedentary mice, indicating that GABAA receptor blockade removed the exercise-induced up-regulation of BDNF and NT-4. Taken together, the present study elucidated that GABAA receptor blockade negatively modifies exercise-induced up-regulation of neurotrophins and neural activity in the motor cortex.
