Neurochemical alterations in asymptomatic abstinent cocaine users: a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study.

Abstract:

:Cocaine can cause a variety of neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral complications; however, it is uncertain whether cocaine causes persistent cerebral structural and neurochemical abnormalities in asymptomatic users. We studied 52 African-American men (26 human immunodeficiency virus-negative asymptomatic heavy cocaine users and 26 normal subjects). Ventricle-to-brain ratio (VBR) and white matter lesions (WML) were quantified on magnetic resonance imaging. N-acetyl-containing compounds (NA), total creatine, choline-containing compounds, myo-inositol, and glutamate + glutamine were measured with in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, VBR and WML were not significantly different in the cocaine users compared to the normal controls. Elevated creatine (+7%; p = .05) and myo-inositol (+18%; p = .01) in the white matter were associated with cocaine use. NA, primarily a measure of N-acetyl aspartate and neuronal content, was normal. Normal NA suggest no neuronal loss or damage in the brain regions examined in these cocaine users. Therefore, we conclude that neurochemical abnormalities observed might result from alterations in nonneuronal brain tissue.
