Outline of Final Research Achievements

Physical exercise preconditioning is becoming generalized in patients with hypertension to reduce a risk factor of cerebrovascular diseases Based on such therapeutic framework, we examined whether physical exercise preconditioning prior to the intracranial-hemorrhage can attenuate the cerebrovascular damage in rat hippocampus or not. Present study revealed that physical exercise preconditioning prior to intracranial hemorrhage can attenuate neuronal damages in both young and aged animals. However, precise etiological mechanisms involved in the preconditioning effects on the brain is unknown at present. Further studies are needed to clarify this phenomenon.
