¹H-MRS metabolite levels modifications in the nucleus striatum of treated animals.

<p>Box and Whiskers plot describes the distribution of the metabolites of interest quantified with in vivo ¹H-MRS in the nucleus striatum of the studied animals and expressed as metabolite/tCr. Results from control animals are represented as white box (CTL, n = 5), results from PSI-treated animals are represented as grey box (PSI, n = 10). The bottom and top of the box show respectively the lower and upper quartiles; the bold band is the median; the ends of the whiskers show the minimum and the maximum value. Significant difference (p<0.05) is marked with a star. NAA = N-acetyl aspartate, tCr = total creatine, tCho = total choline, Glx = Gln (glutamine) and Glu (glutamate) contributions.
