   Effects of Aging and Aerobic Exercise Training on Brain Glucose Metabolism

   Location:

   Rochester, MN

   Trial status:

   Open for Enrollment

   Why is this study being done?

   Aging is associated with a loss of brain function and conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It is likely that decreased brain metabolism is contributing to the progression of age related degenerative diseases. Aerobic exercise training can increase brain volumes and is associated with decreased risk for degenerative brain conditions. However, little is know about the changes that occur to brain metabolism with aerobic training and aging.
