Glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase activity of oligodendrocytes isolated from adult pig brain: its inducibility by hydrocortisone
Abstract
Developing oligodendrocytes cultured in vitro express glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH; EC 1.1.1.8) and are known to respond to glucocorticoid treatment by increased activity of GPDH. We present evidence that GPDH is enriched in white matter and oligodendrocytes of adult pig brain. Bulk-isolated oligodendrocytes maintained in culture for several weeks exhibit an almost constant level of GPDH activity. Furthermore, a 4-day stimulation with hydrocortisone induces GPDH specific activity of long-term cultured oligodendrocytes from adult pig brain.
