Methyl Butyrate Alleviates Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis and Regulates the Balance of Effector T Cells and Regulatory T Cells

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by demyelinating neuropathy. The etiology of MS is not yet clear and its treatment remains a major medical challenge. While we search for drugs that can effectively treat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the animal model of MS, we also hope to further explore its possible pathogenesis. In the present study, we investigated whether...
