Exercise-Modulated Cognitive Hormones

Leptin and Irisin Hormonal Crosstalk in Cognitive Health Among Aging Individuals: The Modulatory Role of Exercise

Investigating the influence of a 12-week exercise regimen structured thrice weekly on cognitive capacity, and related hormones like Leptin, Irisin, BDNF hormones, antioxidant status, and inflammatory cytokines, whether these modulations potentially enhance neuroprotection and mitigate age-related cognitive impairment among healthy adults.

To elucidate the potential role of exercise as a buffer of cognitive impairment among healthy adults. We thought to investigate the effect of supervised aerobic training of moderate intensity on related hormones like Leptin, Irisin, BDNF hormones, antioxidant status, and inflammatory cytokines, whether these modulations potentially enhance neuroprotection and mitigate age-related cognitive impairment among healthy adults.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Sixty healthy individuals, aged 50 to 80 years (30 men/30 women), were invited to participate in this study after provided with informed consent and were included in this study. Also, all participants were of a sedentary lifestyle, with little or no physical activity during daily routine activities like work and transportation

Exclusion Criteria:

• To ensure accurate results, participants with obesity (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2.), physical impairments, movement limitations, chronic illnesses, such as kidney or liver diseases, or severe diabetes-related complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, neuromuscular issues, cardiopulmonary conditions, or disorders affecting eating, the endocrine system, immune system, or mental health or those who undergoing glucocorticoid medication were excluded from this study
