    Abstract

    Rolipram, a 3 ?5 -cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, has long been studied for its immune modulating effects in the treatment of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In the current study, we investigated the effects of rolipram on remyelination after cuprizone- or lysolecithin-induced demyelination and the signal transduction pathways potentially modulating this response.
