TL;DR: The role of physical exercise in the improvement of spatial learning and memory and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in neuroplasticity are discussed.
Abstract: There has long been discussion regarding the positive effects of physical exercise on brain activity. However, physical exercise has only recently begun to receive the attention of the scientific community, with major interest in its effects on the cognitive functions, spatial learning and memory, as a non-drug method of maintaining brain health and treating neurodegenerative and/or psychiatric conditions. In humans, several studies have shown the beneficial effects of aerobic and resistance exercises in adult and geriatric populations. More recently, studies employing animal models have attempted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity related to physical exercise-induced spatial learning and memory improvement, even under neurodegenerative conditions. In an attempt to clarify these issues, the present review aims to discuss the role of physical exercise in the improvement of spatial learning and memory and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in neuroplasticity.

TL;DR: Transgenic rats generated that chronically overproduce ANG-(1-7) were significantly more resistant than control animals to induction of cardiac hypertrophy by isoproterenol, and transgenic rats showed a reduced duration of reperfusion arrhythmias and an improved postischemic function in isolated Langendorff heart preparations.
Abstract: Angiotensin-(1–7) [ANG-(1–7)] is a recently described heptapeptide product of the renin-angiotensin system. Because biosynthesis of ANG-(1–7) increases in animals treated with cardioprotective drug...
