The aim of presesnt study was to assess the effects of short-term binge ethanol intoxication on cerebral metabolite changes among the controls (CNTL), the low-dose-ethanol (LDE)-exposed, and the high-dose-ethanol (HDE)-exposed rats, which were determined with the ex vivo spectra. Our results showed that the normalized tNAA, GABA, and GSH levels were significantly altered among CNTL, LDE- and HDE-exposed rats. Moreover, the 6 pairs of normalized metabolite levels were significantly correlated in the individual rat data. Our ex vivo 1H HR-MAS NMRS results suggested some novel metabolic markers for the dose-dependent influence of short-term binge ethanol intoxication in the frontal cortex.
