Typical magnetic resonance spectroscopy spectra acquired from the hippocampus of a rat anesthetized with 1MAC isoflurane (A) and 1MAC equivalent propofol (B) analyzed using LCModel. There is sufficient water suppression and excellent spectral resolution to resolve at least 12 to 15 metabolites. The raw unsmoothed spectra are shown (black) in addition to the LCModel-fitted output (red solid line). Asp, aspartate; GABA, γ-aminobutyric acid; Glu, glutamate; Glx, glutamine+glutamate; Lac, lactate; mI, myoinositol; MAC, minimal alveolar concentration; MM, macromolecule; NAA, N-acetylaspartate; Tau, taurine; tCho, total choline; tCr, total creatine.
