Introduction[edit | edit source]
Various treatment methods have been developed to date to support the regeneration process of nerves, which are known to regenerate slower than other tissues in the body. These methods include nanotechnology, stem cell therapy, electrical stimulation, and others, although the level of evidence supporting their effectiveness may vary.
Exercise is only a potentially useful treatment option due to the existence of conflicting evidence on neuron regeneration (This may be because different exercise parameters were used in different studies.) This page includes studies supporting the positive effects of exercise on neuron regeneration.
Neurotrophin-Dependent Nerve Regeneration[edit | edit source]
Neurotrophins are regulative proteins that are expressed in the nervous system. Their neuronal functions are diverse, ranging from neurogenesis to programmed cell death. [1]
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophins family known for it's role in inducing plastic changes that regulate neuronal growth, excitability, and even regeneration. [2] [3]A study [4] found a correlation between serum levels of BDNF and exercise intensity in humans with spinal injury.
Neurotrophin 3 is another protein whose levels have been proven to increase with voluntary exercise. [5][6]
Enhancement of Axon Regeneration[edit | edit source]
In rodent models of peripheral nerve injury, treadmill running has shown to be responsible of increased motor axon regeneration. [7][8][9] [10]
Moreover, the voluntary running-wheel exercise has been shown to reduce the levels of the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), an axonal growth inhibitor. This may explain the mechanism behind the axonal growth effect of exercise. [11]
