Figure 2. NMR results in the EAE (stage 2) and control rats.

Figure 2

(A) 19F NMR spectrum of a fixed, intact cervical spinal cord segment from EAE rat. The PFC displays a single peak at −92 ppm and the TFA reference peak is at −76 ppm. (B) Average inflammation index (IFI) along spinal cord axis in EAE (n = 8) and control (n = 3) rats (closed and open circles, respectively). CRBL, cerebellum; BS, brainstem. The IFI is expressed as the number of 19F atoms per gram of tissue. (C) 19F NMR measurements of organ and tissue biodistribution of the PFC emulsion in a control rat shows RES uptake.
