Our clinical interest in the peripheral neuropathies has prompted the present study of metabolism of peripheral nerves. Our experiments were designed to investigate possible metabolic defects in various conditions of disturbed nerve function and to consider their relevance to clinical problems. As is well known, demyelinating lesions of nerves can be caused by a wide variety of etiological agents and conditions, resulting in fairly similar clinical disturbances. The mechanism by which interference with normal function occurs is not fully understood.
