Exploring Myelin Dysfunction in Multiple System Atrophy
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, yet fatal neurodegenerative disease that presents clinically with autonomic failure in combination with parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia. MSA impacts on the autonomic nervous system affecting blood pressure, heart rate and bladder function, and the motor system affecting balance and muscle movement. The cause of MSA is unknown, no definitive risk factor...
متن کاملAxonal degeneration of the peripheral nerves and postganglionic anhidrosis in a patient with multiple sclerosis.
A 36-year-old woman had, since the age of 24, numerous episodes of visual loss and spinal symptoms and signs at various levels, and was diagnosed as multiple sclerosis(MS). CSF myelin-basic-protein was increased. Neurological and electrophysiological investigations suggested the peripheral nerve involvement. Sural nerve biopsy performed about six years after the onset, revealed severe loss of b...
متن کاملLipid dysfunction and pathogenesis of multiple system atrophy
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein protein in the cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes, the myelin-producing support cells of the central nervous system (CNS). The brain is the most lipid-rich organ in the body and disordered metabolism of various lipid constituents is increasingly recognized as an important factor ...
متن کاملProgressive sudomotor dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Autonomic dysregulation is part of the complex degenerative process in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To investigate this, sweating was examined at rest in 39 patients with ALS in comparison with a control group. Sweat was collected over a 30 second period over the thenar and hypothenar eminences and on the sole of the foot, using a commercial device based on vapour pressure gradient. The...
متن کامل[Multiple system atrophy and autophagy].
Macroautophagy is a dynamic process whereby cytoplasmic molecules are sequestered within autophagosomes. There exist two groups of mammalian autophagy-related gene (Atg) 8 homologues (LC3 and GABARAPs), which play essential role in autophagosomal formation. We determined whether Atg8 homologues are affected in Lewy body disease (LBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). The level of LC3 was incre...
