Exercise, heat shock proteins, and myocardial protection from I-R injury

Article Abstract:

This article examines the effects of heat shock proteins and endurance exercise on the prevention of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Findings indicate that endurance training increases levels of specific heat shock proteins that protect cells in the heart from apoptosis, necrosis, and oxidative injury during acute stress.

Apoptosis and exercise

Article Abstract:

This article examines the physiological processes involved in exercise-induced apoptosis, or regulated cell death, in skeletal muscle cells and lymphocytes. Research indicates that post-exercise apoptosis is a regulatory function that helps remove damaged cells from the body without causing an inflammatory response.

Exercise training-induced alterations in skeletal muscle antioxidant capacity: a brief review

Article Abstract:

Increased levels of certain antioxidants may prevent cellular damage during regular exercise training. Since exercise increases the activities of both superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in muscle, these higher antioxidant concentrations will also serve to protect muscle cells from injury.
