Effects of treadmill exercise on the anxiety-like behavior through modulation of GSK3β/β-catenin signaling in the maternal separation rat pup.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Maternal separation causes depression and anxiety. Exercise ameliorates maternal separation-induced depression. In this study, we investigated the effect of treadmill exercise on anxiety-like behavior in relation with glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β)/β-catenin pathway using maternal separation rat pups. For this study, elevated plus maze test, immunohistochemistry for serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), and western blot for total GSK3β (t-GSK3β), phosphorylated GSK3β (p-GSK3β), total β-catenin (t-β-catenin), and phosphorylated β-catenin (p-β-catenin) were conducted. The rat pups in the exercise groups were scheduled to run on a treadmill for 30 min once a day for 10 days, starting on postnatal day 21. For the rat pups in the fluoxetine-treated group, fluoxetine was orally administrated once a day for 10 consecutive days, starting on postnatal day 21. Anxiety-like behavior was appeared in the rat pups by maternal separation. Maternal separation suppressed 5-HT and TPH expression in the dorsal raphe. Maternal separation suppressed phosphorylation of GSK3β and increased phosphorylation of β-catenin in the hippocampus. However, treadmill exercise and fluoxetine treatment alleviated anxiety and increased 5-HT and TPH expression in the dorsal raphe. Treadmill exercise and fluoxetine treatment also enhanced GSK3β phosphorylation and suppressed β-catenin phosphorylation in the hippocampus. In this study, alleviating effect of treadmill exercise on maternal separation-induced anxiety appeared through enhancing 5-HT expression and GSK3β phosphorylation, and then inhibiting β-catenin phosphorylation. These results showed that treadmill exercise relieves anxiety through GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. Treadmill exercise showed similar ameliorating effect on anxiety-like behavior as fluoxetine.
