In vivo 1 H MRS at high fields is a powerful tool able to assess the concentration of about 20 metabolites implicated in different cellular functions. Longitudinal studies on cerebral diseases involving modifications in the metabolites concentrations are routinely applied given the non invasiveness of the technique. The present study examines changes in the neurochemical profile after injection of the highly invasive human glioma derived sphere lines. Our results suggest that longitudinal comparison of modifications in the metabolic profiles of different brain regions allows studying the kinetics of tumor invasion
