White matter lesions representing ischemic demyelination have evolved in terms of our understanding of their pathogenesis and potential clinical significance. Low density lesions on CT brain scan, most commonly seen in the periventricular region, also frequently seen in the centrum semiovale, have been termed 'leukoaraiosis'.

Our interest in proteolytic enzymes derives from our work on the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this disease of the central nervous system the myelin sheaths enveloping the axons disintegrate, usually in a patchy manner beginning around small veins or near the ventricles, resulting in lesions or “plaques.” The cause of MS is still unknown.

Statins are inhibitors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, which are widely prescribed for their cholesterol-lowering properties in order to reduce atherogenesis and cardiovascular morbidity. Moreover, statins have been shown to exert pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects that might be of therapeutic benefit in autoimmune disorders ...

[Demyelinating elements of demyelinated encephalopathy].
Zhonghua shen jing jing shen ke za zhi = Chinese journal of neurology and psychiatry, 1992The myelin basic protein (MBPi) accounts for the main encephalitogenic antigen of the demyelinating encephalopathy, but other myelin elements also be noted by some articles. We tried to determine the relationship between W1 protein and the demyelinating encephalopathies. The 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phospho-diesterase(CNPase, a gift from Dr.

Autoimmunity in Demyelinating Diseases
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1987Demyelinative diseases of the CNS and peripheral nervous system can be distinguished on the basis of primary mediation by antibody or T lymphocytes (or failure of the T-cell-mediated response) and on the basis of chronicity. The principal mechanisms are autoimmunization to myelin antigens after actual immunization with tissue or infection with cross ...

Demyelination and Remyelination
Advances in NeurobiologyMyelinating oligodendrocytes and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) make up half the cells in the central nervous system and are affected by and contribute to all neurological diseases. The pathology of myelinating oligodendrocytes is fundamentally characterized by myelin disruption and loss, termed demyelination, whereas that of OPCs is ...

Abstract This chapter describes various clues to the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) based on the history, physical examination and investigation. Red flags that should alert the clinician to an alternative diagnosis are listed. Disorders that may present like MS and lead to erroneous diagnosis are discussed.

STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF DEMYELINATION: TRIETHYL TIN‐INDUCED DEMYELINATION
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1973AbstractThe metabolism of myelin undergoing breakdown as a result of edema induced by chronic administration of triethyl tin (TET) dissolved in the drinking water (10 mg/l.) was examined. The spinal cord showed more edema and loss of myelin than the brain.
