Abstract excerpt
Neurotrophic factors, including glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), have been known to play a role in neuroprotection in the injured peripheral nervous system (PNS). To evaluate the involvement of GDNF in experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) pathogenesis, the expression of GDNF in rat sciatic nerves with EAN was studied. Western blot analysis showed that the level of GDNF protein significantly...
