Reduced effects of age on dopamine D2 receptor levels in physically active adults
Neuroimage, 2017•Elsevier
Physical activity has been shown to ameliorate dopaminergic degeneration in non-human
animal models. However, the effects of regular physical activity on normal age-related
changes in dopamine function in humans are unknown. Here we present cross-sectional
data from forty-four healthy human subjects between 23 and 80 years old, showing that
typical age-related dopamine D2 receptor loss, assessed with PET [18 F] fallypride, was
significantly reduced in physically active adults compared to less active adults.
