目的:探讨超高场强磁共振氢质子波谱( hydrogen MR spectroscopy ,1 H-MRS)在全面评价ob/ob鼠及野生对照组小鼠白色脂肪组织和棕色脂肪脂质成分中的作用。方法:运用整体和单体素1 H-MRS方法对ob/ob及野生对照鼠进行活体波谱分析,整体1 H-MRS波谱定量全身脂质;单体素波谱计算白色和棕色脂肪的脂质含量,饱和及不饱和脂肪酸、双不饱和脂肪酸的相对含量及多聚不饱和程度。结果:整体1 H-MRS结果显示ob/ob鼠全身脂质含量显著高于野生型对照组,单体素1 H-MRS显示ob/ob鼠棕色脂肪脂质含量显著高于野生对照组,而两组鼠白色脂肪脂质含量的差异无统计学意义,ob/ob鼠白色脂肪的双不饱和脂肪酸及多聚不饱和程度均低于野生对照组。结论:1 H-MRS不仅可以定量白色和棕色脂肪的脂质含量,还可以分析其脂质成分。
Objective: To evaluate hydrogen MR spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS ) in estimating lipid content of whole body and measuring fat content in white and brown adipose tissue ( WAT and BAT ) of obese and normal mice in vivo.Methods:A single pulse 1 H-MRS and a localized proton 1 H-MRS were performed to measure the triglyceride from the whole body and the lipid contents in WAT and BAT of six ob/ob and six wild type(WT) mice using 7T micro-MR scanner . Fractions of unsaturated fatty acids ( FU ) , diunsaturated fatty acids ( FDU ) and polyunsaturation degree ( PUD) in WAT and BAT were calculated by using MRS .Independent-sample t test was performed in comparison .Results:In vivo total body spectroscopy showed the liquid lipid accumulation degree on the whole body in ob/ob mice was significantly higher than that of controls ( P〈0.001) .In vivo, BAT fat content in ob/ob mice measured by MRS was significantly higher than that of WT mice ( P 〈0 .001 ) , but no significant difference was found between ob/ob and WT mice in WAT fat content(P〉0.05).PUD value and FDU of WAT in ob/ob mice were significantly lower than those of WT mice ( P〈0 .05 ) , but no significant difference was found between ob/ob and WT mice in FU of WAT and PUD value, FU, and FDU of BAT(P〉0.05).Conclusion: 1H-MRS is efficient method in fat quantification at 7.0 T MR.In additions, MRS analyses PUD value and FU of WAT or BAT.They have the potential for further application quantization of lipid composition and lipometabolism in longitudinal studies .
