Abstract

Kinetics of phospholipid constituents transferred from the axon to the myelin sheath were studied in the oculomotor nerve (OMN) and the ciliary ganglion (CG) of chicken. Axons of the OMN were loaded with transported phospholipids after an intracerebral injection of [2-3H]glycerol or [3H]labeled choline. Quantitative electron microscope radioautography revealed that labeled lipids were transported in the axons mainly associated with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Simultaneously, the labeling of the myelin sheath was found in the Schmidt-Lanterman clefts and the inner myelin layers. The outer Schwann cell cytoplasm and the outer myelin layers contained some label with [methyl-3H]choline, but virtually none with [2-3H]glycerol. With time the radioactive lipids were redistributed throughout and along the whole myelin sheath. Since [2-3H]glycerol incorporated into phospholipids is practically not re-utilized, the occurrence of label in myelin results from a translocation of entire phospholipid molecules and from their preferential insertion into Schmidt-Lanterman clefts. In this way, the axon-myelin transfer of phospholipid contributes rapidly to the renewal of a limited pool of phospholipids in the inner myelin layers. When [met...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected.
