Metabolite concentrations in multiple brain structures
of 60 healthy adults (21 - 70 years) were measured by
using a short TE (17.6 ms) whole brain MR spectroscopic
imaging (wbMRSI). The distributions as well as the
age-related changes of brain metabolites NAA, tCho, tCr,
mI, and Glx were regional and metabolite dependent. The
most age-related changes were observed in metabolite NAA
with age-related decreases in seven of thirteen selected
brain structures and the cerebrum revealed more local
metabolic changes than that in cerebellum.
