Lipid metabolism linked to MS

The use of vibrational spectroscopy to study the pathogenesis multiple sclerosis and similar neurological conditions

They say more or less that in NAWM there is no demyelination, but there is some kind of metabolic problem:

Overall, as demonstrated in this review and from our own FTIR preliminary data, spectroscopic techniques have the potential to advance our knowledge of MS pathogenesis. The analysis of post-mortem material, especially the comparison between NAWM and normal WM can provide insights into molecular changes unveiling novel disease mechanisms.
