(S)-Oxiracetam decreased the abnormal accumulation of glucose and citric acid and increased ATP metabolism in the 2-VO rats. In situ MALDI MSI of (a) glucose; (b) citric acid; (c) ATP; (d) ADP; (e) AMP; and (f) GMP. The brains were rapidly removed, immediately frozen by immersion in N-hexane (−80 °C) and stored at −80 °C until use. Coronal brain sections were cut at a thickness of 10 µm. 1,5-Diaminonaphthalene (1,5-DAN) hydrochloride was used as the matrix in this experiment. Mass imaging data were acquired in negative ionization mode at a 200 μm spatial resolution. So: (S)-oxiracetam 200 mg/kg; Rso: oxiracetam 400 mg/kg. Scale bar = 5 mm, n = 3 per group.
