Plasmalogenase activity in normal and demyelinating tissue of the central nervous system

G. BRIAN ANSELL, Sheila Spanner

Open full text 59 citations

Abstract

1. The plasmalogenase activity of brain was found to be associated with the white matter but was absent from myelin fractions. 2. Increased enzyme activity was found in demyelinating spinal cords from vitamin B(12)-deficient monkeys and in white matter from a patient with multiple sclerosis.
