Myelin lipids as nervous system energy reserves

2022-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Neuronal functions and impulse propagation depend on the continuous supply of glucose 1,2 . Surprisingly, the mammalian brain has no obvious energy stores, except for astroglial glycogen granules 3 . Oligodendrocytes make myelin for rapid axonal impulse conduction 4 and also support axons metabolically with lactate 5–7 . Here, we show that myelin itself, a lipid-rich membrane compartment, becomes a local energ...
