To assess differences in excitatory (glutamate/glutamine or Glx) and inhibitory (γ-Aminobutyric acid or GABA) neurotransmitter levels using MR spectroscopy in pain processing regions of the brain in patients diabetic neuropathy (DN) and positive sensory symptoms and age-matched healthy control (HC) subjects. Seven diabetic patients (5 males, 2 females, mean age = 57.0 ± 8.5 years) with confirmed DN and positive sensory symptoms and 7 age and sex matched HC subjects (mean age = 57.7 ± 3.2 years) underwent 3 Tesla MR spectroscopy. Glx and GABA levels were quantified in the right anterior and posterior insula, anterior cingulate cortex and right thalamus. Mean Glx levels were significantly higher and mean GABA levels were significantly lower within the posterior insula in the DN patients compared to HC (P = 0.005 and 0.012 respectively). This pilot data demonstrates an excitatory/inhibitory neurotransmitter imbalance in the brain of in patients with DN and positive sensory symptoms compared to pain free HC subjects.
