Abstract excerpt
The role of oligodendrocyte-derived transferrin in the transport and regional accumulation of iron has been studied in myelin-deficient (md) rats, which lack functional oligodendrocytes and have an almost complete depletion of transferrin in the brain, although they have normal peripheral levels of transferrin. The regional uptake of 59Fe into the brain has been studied autoradiographically in md and littermate...
