alanine and Brain Abscess

alanine has been researched along with Brain Abscess in 3 studies

Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
alanine : An alpha-amino acid that consists of propionic acid bearing an amino substituent at position 2.

Brain Abscess: A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE); HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG. Penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA and NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES may also be associated with this condition. Clinical manifestations include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; focal neurologic deficits; and alterations of consciousness. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp712-6)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The signal-intensity loss from anomalous J-modulation effects due to chemical-shift displacement was investigated on amino acid groups (alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine) at 3T by using point-resolved (1)H spectroscopy in patients with brain abscess and phantom experiments."3.74Anomalous J-modulation effects on amino acids in clinical 3T MR spectroscopy. ( Chan, CC; Chen, CY; Cho, NY; Chou, MC; Chung, HW; Huang, GS; Juan, CJ; Ko, CW; Lee, CS; Liu, HS; Tsai, SY; Wang, CY, 2008)
"A spectrum specific for brain abscess was found in three of the five cases, while two showed a single lactate peak in the first study."1.31Chronological change of brain abscess in (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy. ( Akutsu, H; Anno, I; Isobe, T; Itai, Y; Matsumura, A; Nose, T; Takano, S, 2002)
"Five patients, each with a brain abscess, were examined by means of 1H MR spectroscopic imaging in vivo."1.291H MRS of human brain abscesses in vivo and in vitro. ( Belle, V; Benabid, AL; Berger, F; Estève, F; Grand, S; Hoffmann, D; Laï, ES; Le Bas, JF; Rémy, C; Ziegler, A, 1995)
