Whole body vibration plays a central role in many work categories and can represent a health risk to the musculoskeletal system and peripheral nervous system. However, studies in animal and human models have shown that vibratory training, experimentally and/or therapeutically induced, can exert beneficial effects on the whole body, as well as improve brain functioning and reduce cognitive decline related to the aging process. Since the effects of vibratory training depend on several factors, such as vibration frequency and vibration exposure time, in this work, we investigated whether the application of three different vibratory protocols could modulate synaptic and muscle plasticity in a middle-aged murine model, counteracting the onset of early symptoms linked to the aging process. To this end, we performed electrophysiological recordings of the field potential in the CA1 region of mouse hippocampal slices, as well as histomorphometric and ultrastructural analysis of muscle tissue by optic and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Our results showed that protocols characterized by a low vibration frequency and/or a longer recovery time exert positive effects at both hippocampal and muscular level, and that these effects improve significantly by varying both parameters, with an action comparable with a dose-response effect. Thus, we suggested that vibratory training may be an effective strategy to counteract cognitive impairment, which is already present in the early stages of the aging process, and the onset of sarcopenia, which is closely related to a sedentary lifestyle. Future studies are needed to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and to determine an optimal vibratory training protocol.
全身振动在许多工作类别中起着核心作用,并且可能对肌肉骨骼系统和周围神经系统构成健康风险。然而,在动物和人体模型中的研究表明,实验性和/或治疗性诱导的振动训练可以对全身产生有益影响,还能改善大脑功能并减少与衰老过程相关的认知衰退。由于振动训练的效果取决于几个因素,如振动频率和振动暴露时间,在这项工作中,我们研究了三种不同的振动方案的应用是否可以调节中年小鼠模型中的突触和肌肉可塑性,以对抗与衰老过程相关的早期症状的出现。为此,我们分别通过光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜对小鼠海马切片CA1区的场电位进行了电生理记录,以及对肌肉组织进行了组织形态计量学和超微结构分析。我们的结果表明,以低振动频率和/或较长恢复时间为特征的方案在海马和肌肉水平上均产生积极影响,并且通过改变这两个参数,这些影响会显著改善,其作用类似于剂量反应效应。因此,我们认为振动训练可能是一种有效的策略,以对抗在衰老过程早期就已出现的认知障碍以及与久坐生活方式密切相关的肌肉减少症的发生。未来需要开展研究以了解潜在的分子机制并确定最佳的振动训练方案。
