Bidirectional effects of voluntary exercise on the expression of Bdnf isoforms in the hippocampus of Hatano rat strains displaying different activity levels.

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
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor has functional mRNA isoforms, whose expression is assumed to mediate the beneficial effects of exercise in neuropsychiatric disorders. This study aims to reveal the mechanism of intensity-dependent effects of voluntary exercise, focusing on the expression of Bdnf mRNA isoforms in Hatano rats. Animals with different voluntary activity were housed in cages with a locked or unlocked wheel for 5 weeks. The expression levels of Bdnf isoforms and the corresponding coding sequences (CDS) were measured in the hippocampus using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We found that exercise increased the expression of Bdnf isoform containing exon 1 in the high-intensity-running strain and decreased the expressions of Bdnf exon 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9a in mild-intensity-running animal. The expression of Bdnf CDS was increased by exercise in both strains. These results suggest that expressions of Bdnf isoforms depend on the intensities of voluntary exercise, but the involvement of subjects' genetic background could not be excluded. Our finding also implies that the bidirectional effects of exercise may not be mediated via the final product of Bdnf.
