Neutral Lipid-Enriched Diet Improves Nerve Protection in CMT Mouse Model
Mice carrying a mutation identical to that producing an early-onset, severe form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease fed with a neutral lipid-enriched diet showed improved myelinization (the growth of the protective layer myelin around nerve fibers) and less peripheral nerve damage, a study found. Such results indicate a potential benefit of…
