New research identifies a liver-produced enzyme that explains how physical activity helps defend the brain from age-related cognitive decline.

A team at the University of California, San Francisco has identified a specific liver-produced enzyme that explains, at the molecular level, how physical exercise protects the aging brain from ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's official: Older Americans worried about cognitive decline can stay sharper for longer by exercising both their bodies and their brains and eating healthier. That's according to ...

A new study found that 150 minutes of aerobic exercise each week is linked to a lower brain age. The corresponding study was published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science. "We found that a ...

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

This graphic highlight key findings showing that regular aerobic exercise was associated with a younger-appearing brain on MRI compared with no change in activity. Participants who exercised showed ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

A year of consistent aerobic activity didn’t just boost fitness; it shifted MRI-based brain age in early to midlife adults, suggesting exercise may help preserve brain health long before old age.

A year can feel like a long time when you worry about your future memory. It can also pass in a blur of work, family, and stress. New research suggests that what you do with that year may leave a mark ...

New research suggests that consistent aerobic exercise can help keep your brain biologically younger. Adults who exercised regularly for a year showed brains that appeared nearly a year younger than ...
