Spearman correlations between metabolite ratios and brain temperature.
| TCRE | tCho/tCre | NAA/tCre | Glx/tCre | MI/tCre | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TCRE | – | −0.575 | 0.678 | ||
| tCho/tCre | −0.575 | – | −0.464 | ||
| NAA/tCre | 0.678 | −0.464 | – | 0.623 | −0.603 |
| Glx/tCre | 0.623 | – | |||
| MI/tCre | −0.603 | – |
All correlations significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
TCRE, brain temperature calculated according to the equation TCRE = −102.61(ΔH20−CRE) + 206.1°C; tCho, total choline; tCre, creatine + phosphocreatine (total creatine); NAA, N-acetylaspartate; Glx, combined signal from glutamine and glutamate); MI, myo-inositol.
