Characteristic changes of cerebellar proteins associated with cerebellar hypoplasia in jaundiced Gunn rats and the prevention of these by phototherapy.

Abstract

In the cerebellar particulate fractions from Gunn rat homozygotes 3 protein bands with apparent mol. wts. of 250,000, 50,000 and 33,000 in SDS-polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis underwent major changes, and phototherapy of the newborns could effectively prevent changes.
