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
