Exercise training increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor and irisin level in healthy young adults in
Basra city

Regular treadmill exercise is more efficient than voluntary in neuroprotection by changing brain metabolism, at the moment, regular
treadmill exercise has been observed to improve many physiological impacts in humans and animals. The present study sought to verify
the effect of regular treadmill exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and irisin in healthy adult’s men in Basra city.Thirty
healthy subjects (age 22). Participated in this study and were divided into two groups; group one (G1) and group two (G2), subjects
underwent to regular treadmill exercise in two programs for eight weeks. Respectively, to determine the comparison between groups,
serum of BDNF and Irsisn level were investigated. BDNF and Irisin levels in G1 and G2 were significant post exercise sessions compared
to prior exercise (P>0.001). No significant was observed in BDNF compared to Irisin in G1. Also No significant was observed in BDNF
compared to Irisin in G2. Generally, the regular exercise program selected in this study affected to release of BDNF and Irisin in healthy
non-athletic men. CLICK TO REVIEW
