Myelin Sheath, also known as:
Meduallry Sheath.

Discription:
Myelin Sheaths are the Cell Membranes of the Axons of Neurons (nerve cells) - i.e. Nerve Cells Membranes.. They are composed of Gilal Cells and are produced by Oligodendrocytes.

Componets of Myelin Sheaths
* Phospholipids and Glycolipids ( i.e. Compound Lipids) comprise 80% of Myelin Sheaths.
*Proteins comprise 20% of Myelin Sheaths.

These Substances Enhance the Function of Myelin Sheaths.

(Amino Acids)
* Acetyl-L-Carnatine (ALC) inhibits ( and possibly reverses) the degeneration of Myelin Sheaths that occurs in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process.
* Histdine is necessary for the maintenance of Myelin Sheaths.
* Serine (as a component of Phosphatidylserine) is a component of Myelin Sheaths.
* taurine helps to stablikze the electrical activity of Myelin Sheaths.
* Valine is a component of Myelin Sheaths.

(Animal Organ Extracts)
* Myelin Sheath Extract may inhibit the degeneration of Myelin Sheaths.
(Carbohydrates)
* Galactose is a constituent fo Galactocerebrosiides (which accounts for 15% of the lipids (Glycolipids) present in Myelin Sheaths.

(Hormones)
*Insufficient endogenous priductin of Androgens causes thinning of Myelin Sheaths (indicating that supplemental Androgens may prevent the thinning of Myelin Sheaths).
*Progesterone facilitates the formation and maintance of Myelin Sheaths.

(Lipid Alcohols)
*Ocatcosanol regernerates and repairs Myelin Sheaths.
*Sphingosine (as a componet of Glycosphingolipids and Phosphosphingolipids) is a component of Myelin Sheaths.

(Lipids)
*Cerebrosides are an important constituent of Myelin Sheaths.
*Cholesterol is an essential component of Myelin Sheaths.
*Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) concentrate in Myelin Sheaths.
*Galacrocerebrosides comprise 15% of the Lipids of Myelin Sheaths.
*Gangliosides concentrate in Myelin Sheaths.
*Phosphatidylcholine (PC) nourshes Mylen Sheaths.
*Phosphatidylserine (PS) maintains the integrity of and improves the fluidity of Myelin Sheaths.
*Sphingomyelin is an essential component of Myelin Sheaths.

(Minerals)
*Copper contributes to the integrity of Myelin Sheaths (by stimulating the synthesis of some Phospholipids).
*Phosphorus si a component of Myelin Sheaths (due to its incorporation into Phospholipids)
*Potassium facilitates the conduction of Nerve Impulse transmission of Myelin Sheths.
*Sodium facilitates the conduction of Nerve Impulses through Myelin Sheaths.

(Smart Drugs)
*Dilantin stabilized the electrical chemical activity and Nerve Impulses transmission of Myelin Sheaths.
*Gerovital stabilizes the function of Mylein Sheaths (i.e. it counteracts the normal age-related degeneration of Myelin Sheaths).
*Nimodipine prevents excessive Calcium from penetrating Myelin Sheaths.

(Vatamins)
*Inositol improves the conditionof the Myelin Sheaths in Diabetes Mellitus and Mulitple Sclerosis patients.
*Vitamin B6 enhances the development and growth of Myelin Sheaths and improves their ability to conduct Nerve Impules.
*Adonosylcobalamin (the active coenzyme form of Vitame B12) helps to maintain the corret balance fo Fatty Acids in Myelin Sheaths.

THESE SUBSTANCES ARE TOXIC TO MYELIN SHEATHS.

(Amino Acids)

*Homocysteine can destroy Myelin Sheaths.


(Lipopigments)
*Lipofuscin accumulates in and destroys Myelin Sheaths.

THESE AILMENTS ARE TOXIC TO MYELIN SHEATHS.

(Aging Process).
* The integrity of Myelin Sheaths deteriorates in tandem with the progression the the Aging Process (preventing Glucose and other nutrients from entering Neurons).

(Nervous System)
*Damage to Myelin Sheaths is implicated in Multiple Sclerosis.
*Parkinson's Disease occurs when Myelin Sheaths re damaged by Oxidation.
