Representative 1H MR spectra (360 MHz) and the histology sections from the control group and 2 week-treated group; (i) MR spectrum of specimen from control group (ii) MR spectrum of specimen from 2 week-treated group (iii) H&E stained section of the same control group specimen as above (iv) H&E stained section of the same specimen from 2 week-treated group as above. The metabolites represented by the labeled peaks in the MR spectra are as follows: (a) -CH3 group of fatty acids in lipids, (b) -CH2 chain of fatty acids, (c) glutamic acid, d) -CH2-COO group of fatty acids, (e) polyunsaturated fatty acids, (f) creatine, (g) total cholines (tCho), (h)-CH2-CH= group of unsaturated fatty acids.
