  • Title: Increased polyunsaturated fatty acids in developing and regenerating peripheral nerve.
    Author: Yao JK.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1982 Sep 14; 712(3):542-6. PubMed ID: 6812646.
    Abstract:
    Characteristic fatty acids of peripheral nerve myelin are mainly saturated and monounsaturated. A marked increase of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly arachidonic acid, was found in endoneurial phosphatidylethanolamine of both developing and regenerating rat sciatic nerve, suggesting a close association between polyunsaturated fatty acids and peripheral nerve myelination.
