The effects of aging and balance exercise on the expression and the modification of synaptic receptors and neurotrophins in the cerebellum, the motor related-area, and the hippocampus were assessed using senescence-accelerated mice(SAM). High-frequent and long-time balance exercise for four weeks decreased the expression of synaptic receptors and neurotrophins, whereas low-frequent and short-time balance exercise for four weeks did not induce such down-regulation, and also increased the expression of synaptic receptors and the receptor of neurotrohin only in aged mice.
