Mechanism of Nerve Regeneration after Ischemic Stroke Induced by Exercise Intervention by TENG Lili, ZHANG Mei, SONG Wenjing, ZHU Luwen

“…Based on the plasticity of the central nervous system, exercise intervention can play a neuroprotective role in the brain through multi-levels, multi-pathways and multi-targets, such as regulating synaptic budding, connection and transmission efficiency, improving the functional connection between regenerative axons and target cells, promoting angiogenesis and protecting the integrity of neurovascular units, regulating related inhibitory nerve regeneration factors, and inducing the expression of various nerve growth factors related to nerve regeneration and promoting the proliferation of neural stem cells, so as to participate in the regulation of central nervous rege-neration environment, and improve the damaged nerve function after ischemia.…”
