Synopsis

In order to probe the metabolism of glutamate and myo-inositol for better understanding of the Alzheimer’s diseases (AD) we have employed the chemical exchange saturation transfer of glutamate (GluCEST) and myoinositol (MICEST) in a fast progressing, 5xFAD mouse model. There were significant differences observed in the GluCEST and MICEST maps of 5XFAD mice when compared to the wild-type (WT) mice for regions of interest drawn on hippocampus and thalamus, which are further supported by the spectroscopy results.
