Intense exercise increases circulating endocannabinoid and BDNF levels in humans--possible implications for reward and depression.
The endocannabinoid system is known to have positive effects on depression partly through its actions on neurotrophins, such as Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). As BDNF is also considered the major candidate molecule for exercise-induced brain plasticity, we hypothesized that the endocannabinoid system represents a crucial signaling system mediating the beneficial antidepressant effect...
متن کاملAcute mental stress elicits delayed increases in circulating inflammatory cytokine levels.
The influence of acute mental stress on cardiovascular responses and concentrations of inflammatory cytokines up to 2 h later was assessed in 12 subjects exposed to stress and in eight control subjects. Beat-by-beat recordings of finger blood pressure and heart rate were made at rest and during two behavioural tasks (colour-word interference and mirror tracing). Blood was drawn after adaptation...
متن کاملCirculating levels of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and carotid artery atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE During recent years, some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been linked to atherosclerosis. One group of POPs, the poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have not been investigated with regard to atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS Carotid artery atherosclerosis was assessed by ultrasound in 1016 subjects aged 70 years in the Prospective Investigation of the...
متن کاملCirculating tissue kallikrein levels correlate with severity of carotid atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Vascular growth factors are upregulated in stroke patients, but it remains unknown if they correlate with carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS A case-control study was conducted to determine: (1) possible association between biomarkers of angiogenesis or inflammation and carotid stenosis; and (2) the impact of revascularization on the same biomarkers. Circulating vascular e...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis Predictor? Circulating Levels of POPs Linked to Arterial Effects
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are long-lived environmental contaminants that are widely detected in humans. Elevated circulating levels of POPs have been linked to hypertension, obesity, diabetes, meta bolic syndrome, and myocardial infarction in humans. Atherosclerosis, characterized by lipid-rich plaques on the inner wall (intima) of the artery, also can lead to myocardial infarction a...
