In this study, metabolic changes in the 79A/C3H, ME7/VM, ME7/C3H, 87V/VM and 22A/SV scrapie mouse models were investigated during the clinical phase of the disease, using in vitro proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. N-acetyl-aspartate was found to be significantly reduced in infected mice of the ME7/C3H (40% reduction), ME7/VM (26%) and 79A/C3H (17%) models when compared to control mice, but not in the 87V/VM and 22A/SV models. The concentration of choline containing compounds and creatine remain unchanged in all models when compared with control murine brains. The level of N-acetyl-aspartate reduction correlated with the extent of grey-matter brain vacuolation. The levels of myo-inositol were found to be significantly increased in the ME7/VM (143%) and 79A/C3H (132%) models only and no significant changes were observed in the ME7/C3H, 87V/VM and 22A/SV models. These changes did not correspond to the severity of gliosis.
