detection of metabolic changes in a mouse model of scrapie using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy Free

Abstract

proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies of scrapie in a mouse model have shown the appearance of an abnormal peak in the brain early in the incubation period. This abnormal peak was detected weeks before the detection of a protease-resistant form of a membrane protein and vacuolar histopathology , and several months before clinical signs, and the signal increased in intensity as the disease progressed. In the chronic stage of the disease, a reduction in -acetyl aspartate levels was observed using and proton NMR spectroscopy.
