Exercise-induced hypothalamic neuroplasticity: Implications for energy and glucose metabolism

Abstract

Exercise elicits both transient and sustained changes in metabolism, accompanied by changes in neural activity within specific brain regions. Importantly, the contribution of exercise-induced plasticity and the underlying mechanisms by which neuroplasticity influences the effects of exercise are not well understood. Recent work has begun to overcome this gap in knowledge by examining the complex interactions of exercise-induced factors which alter neural circuit properties to influence metabolism.
