Body attacks myelin sheath
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In this disorder, your immune system attacks the myelin sheath or the cells that produce and maintain it. This attack causes inflammation and injury to the nerve sheath and ultimately to the nerve fibers that it surrounds. The process can result in multiple areas of scarring (sclerosis).
Detailed explanation-2: -Myelin can be damaged when your body’s immune cells think that myelin is a foreign substance. Your body’s immune system produces inflammatory substances that damage myelin and eventually kill the cells (the oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells) that make myelin.
Detailed explanation-3: -The myelin sheath is mostly made of fat, but certain fats work better as building materials. Healthy fats can help grease the gears. Unsaturated fats found in foods like nuts, seeds, salmon, tuna, avocado, and vegetable oils help nerve cells communicate more quickly.
Detailed explanation-4: -High-fat diet in combination with exercise training increases myelin protein expression. High-fat diet alone or in combination with exercise has the greatest effect on myelin-related protein expression. More items •11-Oct-2016
