Abstract
In this high resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopic study of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) and Semliki Forest virus (SFV) infection of the Bioui AB/H mouse, marked increases in the initially low levels of Nβtrimethyl compounds in the spinal cord were observed during probable demyelinating episodes. There was also a pronounced and reproducible modulation of the levels of taurine and myoβinositol during acute and again during chronic relapsing EAE. The ratio of Nβacetylβaspartate to creatine in the spinal cord of mice infected with the mutant M9 strain of SFV decreased to approximately 70% of that seen in normal mice.
