Does a defect of energy metabolism in the nerve fiber underlie axonal degeneration in polyneuropathies?

abstract：:GM1b is a minor ganglioside in human peripheral nerves. Serum anti-GM1b antibodies frequently are present in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). In this collaborative study, we investigated the antecedent infections, clinical features, and response to treatment of GBS patients with anti-GM1b antibodies. Of 13...
