1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)
causes selective dopaminergic death in the substantia
nigra and is used as an animal model for Parkinsons
disease (PD). Recent studies have shown that
exchangeable amine protons on glutamate (Glu) exhibit a
concentration dependent chemical exchange saturation
transfer (CEST) effect with surrounding water protons
(GluCEST). Here, we apply GluCEST, a novel non-invasive
MRI technique, in an MPTP mouse model of PD. GluCEST
imaging demonstrates ~13% elevation in GluCEST contrast
in striatum of PD mice in agreement with

H
MR spectroscopy.
