Using Drosophila to Understand Biochemical and Behavioral Responses to Exercise
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of endurance exercise paradigms in Drosophila has facilitated study of genetic factors that control individual response to exercise. Recent work in Drosophila has demonstrated that activation of octopaminergic neurons is alone sufficient to confer exercise adaptations to sedentary flies. These results suggest that adrenergic activity is both necessary and sufficient to promote endurance exercise adaptations.

The Effect of Aerobic Exercise and Melatonin on COX-2 Gene Expression in Spinal Cord Tissue and Neuropathic Pain Behavioral Responses in a Diabetic Rat Model
Introduction: Neuroinflammation plays an important role in developing many neurological changes in diabetic patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise and melatonin on COX-2 expression in spinal cord tissue and behavioral responses to pain caused by diabetic neuropathy in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Forty eight-week-old male Wistar rats (weight range 204 ± ...
متن کاملConcentration dependent effect of morphine, aspirin, capsaicin and chili pepper hydro alcoholic extract on thermal and chemical pain model in fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster)
Introduction: Pain research using animal models is related to ethical concerns, so invertebrates and insects have been recommended by researchers. In the present study, the nociceptive and antinociceptive effects of capsaicin, aspirin, morphine and chili extract were examined using fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as an alternative for rodent pain model. Methods: Stage 3 of larvae and ad...
متن کاملThe genetics of behavioral alcohol responses in Drosophila.
Drosophila melanogaster is commonly found near rotting or fermenting fruit, reflected in its name pomace, or vinegar fly. In such environments, flies often encounter significant levels of ethanol. Three observations have made Drosophila a very promising model organism to understand the genetic contributions to the behavioral responses to alcohol. First, similar to higher vertebrates, flies show...

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain that results from damage to the central and peripheral nerves. According to the previous studies, curcumin and exercise can be effective treatments for alleviating sensory neuropathic pain individually. Now the combined effect of chronic curcumin (Cur) and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain model of chronic const...
متن کاملComparing the Effects of High and Moderate Intensity Exercise on Male and Female Rats with and without PTSD: A Behavioral and Biochemical Study
Background and purpose: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that occurs in some people after experiencing shocking events. In this disorder, the function of some hormonal and neurotransmitter systems are disturbed. Physical activity, by inducing beneficial effects on the brain structure, improves anxiety behaviors, increases the level of BDNF, and reduces the harmful effects o...
