Alpha-mannosidosis in the guinea pig: a new animal model for lysosomal storage disorders.

abstract：:Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), the major substrate of neurologic deficits in premature infants, is associated with reduced white matter volume. Using immunomarkers of axonal pathology [beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta-APP) and apoptotic marker fractin], we tested the hypothesis that widespread (diffuse) axona...
