ABSTRACT
The myelinotrophic action of Prosaptide D5 was investigated in developing rats. Sulfatide concentrations in brain and sciatic nerve were determined to assess the development of myelination. Subcutaneous D5-injection significantly increased sulfatide concentrations in both brain and sciatic nerve by 250 and 150% over controls, respectively. D5 promoted ERK phosphorylation in iSC Schwann cells similar to prosaposin. The results showed that D5 treatment stimulated a myelination process in developing rat.
