In vivo 1H spectra and corresponding voxel location depicted in the anatomic image 24 h post-injury of the GCP II KO mice and there WT littermates. Compared with the bilateral hippocampus of the sham groups and contralateral hippocampus of the CCI groups, the NAA peak (blue arrow) decreased in the ipsilateral hippocampus, as well as the Glu peak (red arrow). And the decrease of NAA peak and Glu peak in KO + CCI group were lower than those in WT + CCI group.
