Effects of Exercise Preconditioning Mediating Oxidative Stress to Regulate PI3K/Akt and Nrf2/HO-1 Pathways to Alleviate Cognitive and Learning Disorders in Rats by KONG Haijun, LI Xinlong, WANG Fenghua, CHEN Xiaoan

“…The relative expression levels of Nox1, Duox2 and GCLM proteins in hippocampus significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), while the ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β and the relative expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionExercise preconditioning may be involved in the regulation of oxidative stress in brain tissue by activating PI3K/Akt and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways, and thereby improves the neurobehavioral functions of hypoxia exposed rats.…”
