Lactate in the brain has long been associated with ischaemia; however, more recent
evidence shows that it can be found there under physiological conditions. In the brain …

Oligodendrocytes are best known for wrapping myelin, a unique specialization that enables
energy-efficient and fast axonal impulse propagation in white matter tracts and fibers of the …

Brain function requires a constant supply of glucose. However, the brain has no known
energy stores, except for glycogen granules in astrocytes. In the present study, we report that …

Myelination of axons provides the structural basis for rapid saltatory impulse propagation
along vertebrate fiber tracts, a well-established neurophysiological concept. However …

Recent research into axon-glial interactions in the nervous system has made a compelling
case that glial cells have a relevant role in the metabolic support of axons, and that, in the …

In the nervous system, myelination of axons enables rapid impulse conduction and is a
specialized function of glial cells. Myelinating glia are the last cell type to emerge in the …

Neuronal functions and impulse propagation depend on the continuous supply of glucose,.
Surprisingly, the mammalian brain has no obvious energy stores, except for astroglial …

We reveal that lipid turnover in the myelin sheath generates a fatty acid pool in
oligodendrocytes that can contribute to the energy balance of white matter tracts. We also …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles essential for lipid storage and organismal
survival. Studies have highlighted the importance of glial function in brain LD formation …

The long-term harmful effects of arsenic exposure remain one of the important public health
issues. The effects of arsenic exposure on the central nervous system, particularly …
