EXERCISE INTENSITY-DEPENDENT EFFECTS OF BDNF AND IRISIN ON CARDIOVASCULAR REGULATION

Damian Mialkowskyj, Julija Koehnke, Vaiva Hendrixson Abstract Objective. To investigate the effect of low- and high-in­tensity exercise on serum concentrations of the myoki­nes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and iri­sin, and to assess their correlations with cardiovascular parameters–specifically systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), and heart rate (HR) – in healthy adults. Methods. Fifteen…
