Health Benefits of Endurance Training: Implications of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—A Systematic Review by Włodzimierz Mrówczyński

“…This review suggests that the increase of posttraining levels of BDNF and its TrkB receptors causes simultaneous changes in the activity of the spinal cord, the substantia nigra, and the hypothalamic nuclei neurons, which are responsible for the alteration of the functional properties of motoneurons innervating the skeletal muscles, for the enhancement of dopamine release in the brain, and for the modulation of hormone levels involved in regulating the metabolic processes, responsively. …”

Evolutionary analysis of DELLA proteins in sweet potato and related species reveals their roles in development and stress responses by Zhidan Zuo, Haoqiang Zhao, Yue Fan, Yixuan Zhu, Wenpeng Song, Hong Zhai, Shaozhen He, Huan Zhang, Ning Zhao, Qingchang Liu, Shaopei Gao

“…Moreover, the DELLA genes in sweet potato display an expression pattern that tends to control the growth and development of either the aerial or below-ground parts, and they are responsive to a range of hormones and abiotic stresses. Thus, these findings provide insights into the evolutionary history of DELLA genes within the genus Ipomoea and the functions of sweet potato DELLA genes.…”
