Metabolic assessment of a migraine model using relaxation-enhanced 1 H spectroscopy at ultrahigh field.
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 2018 March
PURPOSE: This study evaluates biochemical imbalances in a rat model that reflects dysfunctional pathways in migraine. The high sensitivity and spectral dispersion available to 1 H MRS at 21.1 T expands metabolic profiling in this migraine model to include lactate (Lac), taurine (Tau), aspartate, and Gly-a mixture of glycine, glutamine, and glutamate.
METHODS: Sprague-Dawley male rats were administered in situ an intraperitoneal injection of nitroglycerin (NTG) to induce the migraine analogue or saline as a control. A selective relaxation-enhanced MR spectroscopy sequence was used to target upfield metabolites from a 4-mm3 voxel for 2.5 h after injection.
RESULTS: Significant increases were evident for Lac as early as 10 min after NTG injection, peaking over 50% compared with baseline and control (normalized Lac/N-acetyl aspartate with NTG = 1.54 ± 0.65 versus with saline = 0.99 ± 0.08). Tau decreased progressively in controls over 2 h after injection, but remained elevated with NTG, peaking at 105 min after injection (normalized Tau/N-acetyl aspartate with NTG = 1.10 ± 0.18 versus with saline = 0.85 ± 0.14). Total creatine under NTG showed significant decreases with time and compared with saline; Gly demonstrated temporal increases for NTG.
CONCLUSIONS: These changes indicate an altered metabolic profile in the migraine analogue consistent with early changes in neural activity and/or vasodilation consistent with progressively enhanced neuroprotection and osmoregulation.
