Ethanolamine concentration is 3.3 mmol/kgww, while PE is approximately 1.4 mmol/kgww. Glucose (Glc) acts as a major source of energy in the brain. Its concentration is around 1 mmol/kgww. The spectrum of a Glc comprise of multiple spectral patterns. Glutamate (Glu) is most abundant amino acid found in human brain that consists of a side chain. Glu has a value of 12 mmol/kgww. It is considered as an excitatory neurotransmitter. Since glutamate comprise of two methylene groups
