✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Commercial solutions for pentobarbital anesthesia typically contain water, ethanol, and propylene glycol (PG). The last two are characterized by resonances that can affect the determination of metabolite concentrations from ^1^H spectra. The purpose of the present study was to measure the concentration of metabolites in the rat brain in vivo under pentobarbital anesthesia using ^1^H MRS. Resonances of PG, but not ethanol, were observed in the rat brain. Chemical shifts and J‐coupling constants for PG were measured at 37°C and pH 7.1 and used for spectral simulation. Inclusion of the simulated PG spectrum in the basis set for LCModel analysis enabled accurate fitting of in vivo spectra. This work demonstrates that concentration of brain metabolites can be reliably measured using ^1^H spectroscopy under pentobarbital anesthesia. The chemical shifts and J‐coupling values reported here can be used to simulate the spectrum of PG at any field strength, with various pulse sequences. Magn Reson Med, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Localized in vivo 1 H NMR spectroscopy was performed with 2-ms echo time in the rat brain at 9.4 T. Frequency domain analysis with LCModel showed that the in vivo spectra can be explained by 18 metabolite model solution spectra and a highly structured background, which was attributed to resonances w

Short echo 1 H in-vivo brain MR spectra are difficult to quantify for several reasons: low signal to noise ratio, the severe overlap of spectral lines, the presence of macromolecule resonances beneath the resonances of interest, and the effect of resonances adjacent to the spectral region of interes
