1H HR-MAS spectra of benign post-surgical (a) and TRUS-guided biopsy (b) prostate tissues. The major prostate metabolites are indicated. Benign prostate tissues demonstrate high levels of citrate and polyamines and low levels of choline containing metabolites (Cho, PC, GPC). Biopsy tissues contain significantly lower levels of lactate and alanine than surgical tissues, but may contain contaminants from topical anesthetics.
