Knowledge of metabolite changes in the fetal brain will provide insight into the biochemical changes in the developing brain. Findings from measurement of metabolite concentration as a function of increasing GA are reported. Significant increases in NAA, Cr, Cho and scyllo-Inositol with increasing GA in the fetal brain was observed in this study. Changes in myo-Inositol with GA did not reach significance.
