Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, which can be measured in blood serum, has been found to increase with aerobic exercise. The link between BDNF level, physical exercise, and genetic status (Val66Met polymorphism) has not been well researched in older adults. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible link between BDNF expression, acute aerobic exercise, and the Val66Met polymorphism in...
