Abstract

This study explored the utility of 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study a standard synaptosomally enriched preparation (P2 pellet) made from rat cerebrum. The preparation contained high concentrations of N-acetylaspartate and γ-aminobutyric acid and low concentrations of glutamine, indicating that they were in fact rich in neuronal cytosol. Synaptosomes contained half the lactate and glutamine of cerebrum. Alanine, aspartate, glutamate, and succinate had the same concentrations in synaptosomes and cerebrum.
