Magnetic resonance to characterize the cerebral response to fasting status in a glioblastoma mouse model

Trabajo presentado al Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB, celebrado en Paris (Francia) del 16 al 21 de junio de 2018.Involuntary weight loss in patients with cancer is a common secondary effect in tumor pathologies being a cause of weakening and progression of the disease. This phenomenon causes cachexia that is estimated to be the direct cause of at least 20% of cancer deaths. In this line, untreated intracranial glioma-bearing mice develop cachexia, and the use of magnetic resonance imaging characterization of the cerebral response to different appetitive conditions can contribute to the better understanding of the cachectic status. For that, we employed functional diffusion MRI and metabolomic studies in a glioblastoma mouse model.Peer Reviewe
