| Research Abstract |
We examined the expression changes of three kinds of lipid metabolism-related enzymes, lipidosin、lanosterol 14α-demethylase、and stearoyl-CoA desaturase, which are expressed in glial and neuronal cells in the nervous system, in the animal model of experimental demyelination, ischemia and neurodegeneration. We obtained findings that suggest involvements of these enzymes in the regulation of the development of brain lesions and the recovery processes from them such as remyelination, recovery from brain ischemia and early responses in neurodegeneration.
