Blood particles from active rats change gene activity in older rats

Nine sedentary male rats received brain infusions for seven days; particles from exercised donors prompted molecular changes consistent with exercise adaptations.Nine sedentary male rats received brain infusions for seven days; particles from exercised donors prompted molecular changes consistent with exercise adaptations.
