Axon membrane remodeling in the lead-induced demyelinating neuropathy of the rat. 1984

F Coria, and M T Berciano, and J Berciano, and M Lafarga

Single-teased fibers stained with the ferric ion-ferrocyanide method allowed us to study axonal remodeling in the lead-induced demyelinating neuropathy of the rat. Our findings, in agreement with recent physiological data, pointed to a transitory reorganization of the demyelinated axons to maintain impulse conduction until remyelination and formation of new cytochemically normal nodes had restored a secure saltatory conduction.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007473	Ion Channels	Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for ION CHANNEL GATING can be due to a variety of stimuli such as LIGANDS, a TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, mechanical deformation or through INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS.

D010525	Peripheral Nerves	The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium.
