摘要
Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of many neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), but is not directly measurable in vivo. We modeled N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), which reflects axonal structural integrity and mitochondrial metabolism, with imaging measures of axonal structural integrity (axial diffusivity and cord cross-sectional area) to extract its mitochondrial metabolic contribution. Lower residual variance in NAA, reflecting reduced mitochondrial metabolism, was associated with greater clinical disability in MS, independent of structural damage.
