1.	Demyelinating Diseases (Demyelinating Disease) 01/01/1980 - "The plasmalogenase activity in extracts was nearly 6-fold greater than control values for a dog with extensive demyelination and was not detectable in tissue from a dog with non-demyelinating lesions. " 01/01/1978 - "Plasmalogenase acting on the oligodendrocyte plasma membrane may be responsible for necrosis of the oligodendrocyte that results in demyelination." 01/01/1977 - "Thus, both the normal catabolism of myelin plasmalogens and the accelerated hydrolysis of plasmalogens in demyelination is probably carried out by oligodendroglial plasmalogenase."
2.	Ischemia 01/01/1978 - "Plasmalogenase activities are also elevated after intracerebral injections of complement-dependent anti-myelin antibody and after ischemia. " 02/01/1987 - "These results indicated that arachidonic acid was predominantly liberated from inositol-containing phospholipids by phospholipase C, and by the diglyceride lipase and monoglyceride lipase system rather than from phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine by phospholipase A2 or plasmalogenase or choline phosphotransferase during the early period of ischemia."
3.	Necrosis 01/01/1978 - "Plasmalogenase acting on the oligodendrocyte plasma membrane may be responsible for necrosis of the oligodendrocyte that results in demyelination."
4.	Inflammation (Inflammations) 01/01/1980 - "The marked elevation of plasmalogenase activity in demyelinating tissue may be associated with a release from the plasmalogens of arachidonic acid which is converted to oxygenated metabolites that may then be responsible for the inflammation. "
5.	Encephalomyelitis (Myeloencephalitis) 01/01/1980 - "Plasmalogenase and phospholipase A1, A2, and L1 activities in white matter in canine distemper virus-associated demyelinating encephalomyelitis."
