  In holographic models of QCD, the running of the anomalous dimension of the
quark bilinear operator leads to chiral symmetry breaking when gamma=1 and the
Breitenlohner-Freedman bound is violated. In that case, the running drives the
sigma meson mass tachyonic inducing the chiral symmetry breaking. Here we
include the running anomalous dimension in the computation of the spectrum of
bound states associated with other operators made of light quarks, such as the
nucleon and exotic sexaquark states. We show that including the one loop gauge
theory running can have substantial effects on the predictions. For example,
the nucleon mass to rho mass ratio is improved and lies much closer to the
observed value. A similar result is obtained for the Lambda and Xi baryons when
strange quarks are included. A uuddss sexaquark state with a low enough mass to
make it stable can be achieved, but this depends on the input assumptions about
the running dimension.
