Description

The study found that exercise-induced increases in proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin in NDEVs were especially pronounced in APOE ε4 carriers, but the underlying biological mechanisms are unexplained. Understanding this differential response could inform personalized exercise interventions for AD.
