Table 1.
Metabolite ratios (/[tCr]) in the dACC of eight healthy volunteers. The same voxel in each subject was scanned twice.
| Concentration (/rtCrl) | Within-subject CV (%) | Between-subject CV (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NAA (CH3) | 1.45 ± 0.15 | 2.8 | 15 |
| NAA (CH2) | 1.30 ± 0.19 | 2.8 | 21 |
| Glu | 1.26 ± 0.10 | 2.1 | 11 |
| Gln | 0.26 ± 0.06 | 5.4 | 32 |
| GSH | 0.27 ± 0.05 | 7.1 | 24 |
| GPC + PC | 0.26 ± 0.02 | 1.6 | 13 |
| mI | 0.71 ± 0.05 | 1.7 | 9.1 |
