Movement
The WHO recommends a regular basis – to move in the age -. A study in the Journal “Nature Medicine” reveals a mechanism that could explain how regular exercise the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients counteracts. In the study, it is stated: as soon As the Sport is set to be a messenger free, Irisin. This passes through the cleavage of the transmembrane protein FNDC5 from the muscle to the brain. “The group of researchers was able to show that Alzheimer’s patients decreased FNDC5/Irisin levels in the Hippocampus, our Memory centre’ in the brain and in the spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) have”, writes the German society for neurology. The increase of FNDC5/Irisin concentration leads to increased plasticity of the brain. “The evidence through clinical studies, but the FNDC5/Irisin is missing mirror might be a physiological Link between muscle and brain,” explains Professor Dr. Richard Dodel of the German society for neurology.
