Glutathione (GSH), GABA, and glutamate are assumed to
play key roles in the onset and progression of multiple
sclerosis (MS). We report their measurement in a single
1-hour session establishment of J-difference editing and
STEAM MR spectroscopy (MRS) twice in five healthy
individuals and once in an MS patient (along with other
MS-relevant neurochemicals such as NAA, myo-inositol, creatine, and cholines). The implementation is expected
to serve as a tool for clinical MS research, patient
monitoring, and treatment control.
