Research Abstract |
Daily exercise has been associated with antihypertensive benefits ; however, its mechanisms remain unclear. To explore this, we have investigated the effects of daily exercise on an important brain area in regulating blood pressure, the nucleus of the solitary tract(NTS), in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR). We have revealed that daily exercise alters gene expression profiles and neuronal functions in the NTS of SHR. These results suggest that the plastic changes in the NTS may be involved in the antihypertensive effects of daily exercise. Moreover, we have concluded that the serotoninergic system may have an important role in the functional changes in the NTS induced by daily exercise.
