MCT1 Deletion in Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells Causes Late-Onset Hypomyelination and Axonal Degeneration
1 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are important for myelination and shuttling energy metabolites lactate and pyruvate toward axons through their expression of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1). Recent studies suggest that loss of OL MCT1 causes axonal degeneration. However, it is unknown how widespread and chronic loss of MCT1 in OLs specifically affects neuronal energy homeostasis with aging. To answer this, MCT1...
