Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPPS) is a common, troubling and
poorly understood chronic pain condition affecting men.
This study aimed to characterise changes in free and
bound fucose in patients with CPPS using in vivo 2D
L-COSY at 3T. We report a statsically significant
increase in cross-peak volumes assigned to -fucose of
68%between healthy controls and patients with
inflammatory (type IIIB) CPPS. There is a concomitant
105% decrease in the assigned composite cross peak of
Thr/Fuc I suggesting an altered pathway.
