Course Description

Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) - Provider #21328, Activity #154518 approved for 1.50 CPEUs.

CPEU Course Description

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) separates the central nervous system (CNS) from the peripheral tissues.  In order to maintain homeostasis in the CNS, the BBB controls material, nutrients, and cell transfer from the blood to the brain and from the brain to the blood.  This CPEU course discusses the crosstalk between physical exercise and BBB permeability.

Haley Barnes, RD, CDE was involved in the creation of this course.

2.  Describe how exercise alleviates the inflammatory state in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

3.  Identify the main structures responsible for the barrier properties of the BBB.

4.  Interpret how exercise protects from inflammation-induced neurodegenerative synaptic and dendritic alterations.

5.  Name five cell types that make up the BBB.

6.  Summarize the purpose of the blood-brain barrier.
