Re: The effects of aerobic exercise training on the age-related lipid peroxidati

It could potentially be of interest to those of us with the PN of CMT

and symptoms as we age. The rats used were not 'CMT' rats, but still

lab quality Wistar rats. This was posted because it is PN research, and

general PN research of all kinds may also be of value in CMT specific

research. I feel best thinking 'outside of the box' when it comes to CMT.

I agree, Gretchen. So...thinking 'outside the box'...perhaps we can recommend a

CMT research study on this subject? If aerobic activity in CMT individuals

could slow down the progression of the nerve degeneration or even repair some of

the damage that would be significant!

If it proved to be true, but we aren't physically able to exercise enough to get

aerobic, I wonder if doctors could raise our heart rates artificially to produce

an aerobic effect as a treatment to protect our nerves? Just pondering the

possibilities!
