The effect of age upon the axoplasmic transport of glycerophospholipids has been studied using as a model the regenerating sciatic nerve of young (2-month-old), young adult (6-month-old), middle-aged (16-month-old), and aged (20-month-old) male rats. The right sciatic nerve was crushed 0.5 mm down t

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
The rates of axonal regeneration and initial delay in motor and sensory axons of cyclophosphamideโtreated and control rat sciatic nerves after cold injury were determined by using fast axoplasmic transport. The rates in motor and sensory nerves were not significantly different between the two groups. The difference of initial delay in motor nerve was not significant, but in sensory nerve the drugโtreated group showed a longer initial delay than the control. These results suggest that the enhancement of motor function recovery by cyclophosphamide is not due directly to an increased rate of axonal regeneration, nor to a decreased initial delay.
