The study, N-acetylglucosamine inhibits inflammation and neurodegeneration markers in multiple sclerosis: a mechanistic trial, was published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation.

UCI researchers have found that a simple sugar, N-acetylglucosamine, reduces multiple inflammation and neurodegeneration markers in people who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS). In addition ...

Researchers conducted a cohort study that suggests oral N-acetylglucosamine treatment can hinder neurodegeneration and inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Oral treatment of N ...

N-Acetylglucosamine drives myelination by triggering oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation. Journal of Biological Chemistry , 2020; jbc.RA120.015595 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.RA120.015595 Cite ...

As the team reports in their study, it appears that the simple sugar N-acetylglucosamine, or GlcNAc for short, could play an important role in the development of progressive MS. Inside an organism ...

Here we generated mice deficient in both N-acetylglucosamine-6-O-sulfotransferase 1 (GlcNAc6ST-1) and GlcNAc6ST-2 and found that mutant mice had approximately 75% less homing of lymphocytes to the ...

were affected but differed from the other affected subjects with respect to the haplotype surrounding the gene for the alpha and beta subunits of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase (GNPTAB).
