Neonatal hypothyroidism affects the timely expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein in the rat brain.

Congenital hypothyroidism strongly affects myelination. To assess the role of thyroid hormone on myelin gene expression, we have studied the effect of hypothyroidism on the steady state levels of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and its mRNA in rat brain during the first postnatal month. As stud... View More
