Neuroprotection and Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease: Role of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors, Implications for Dementia Rates, and Prevention with Aerobic Exercise in African Americans

<table>Aerobic exercise training and cognitive functions. Aerobic exercise increases HDL-C and subfractions; decrease total cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-1; improves endothelia function and arterial compliance; improves glucose homeostasis and downregulates hypoxia.</table>
