| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we tried to examine the brain mechanisms regulating daily spontaneous running using rat experimental models. The results showed that daily spontaneous exercise volume could be regulated by brain monoamine levels, and the levels of brain serotonin could influence daily inactivity. Furthermore, DNA microarray analysis also showed that serotonin systems in the brain were involved with daily spontaneous physical activity. The results of present study suggest that brain monoamine system is one of the major regulator for daily spontaneous physical activity. Our results blight a new research field on the relationship between physical exercise and biological science.
