Mechanisms of Neuroprotection Arising from Exercise

Muscle tissue is metabolically active. In response to use during physical activity, muscle cells secrete a range of signals, as a class now called myokines or exerkines. These signals produce overall beneficial effects on cell behavior and tissue function throughout the body. The precise details of this process are still under investigation, and only the major signals are fairly well mapped - a great deal remains to be discovered in terms of exa…
