“…We did not observe the increase in C18: 1, considered by some authors to be characteristic of demyelination (Sweasey and Patterson, 1974). The increase in C 18: 1 (n-7) was conterbalanced by a fall in C18: l(n-9).…”

“…Cholesterol esters and free fatty acids (FFAs) increase considerably during the first week (Berry et a]., 1965: Wood andDawson, 1974). These esters are regarded as markers of Wallerian degeneration (Yao et al,I980), and they may act as carriers of FFAs generated from breakdown of phospholipids (Sweasey and Patterson, 1974). In this early period (4 days after crush injury), de novo fatty acid biosynthesis increases, reaching a maximum on the 20th day.…”

Intraneural injection of pure glycerol induces Wallerian degeneration with subsequent regeneration. In agreement with other reports, we observed an increase in endoneurial polyunsaturated fatty acids 8 days after the glycerol injection. Levels then fell until day 30. After a period of 5 months, there was an increase in C18:2(n-6) in the intrafascicular tissue, concomitant with a marked fall in this fatty acid in the remaining extrafascicular perineurium. The rise in C18:2(n-6) in endoneurium correlated with infiltration of this tissue by perineurial cells. Interactions between perineurium and endoneurium during nerve regeneration are discussed.
