Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: To study the energy metabolism of the astrocytes in multiple sclerosis. We will investigate whether elevation of cAMP signaling (by fluoxetine, cisapride and prucalopride) in astrocytes of persons with MS is able to restore axonal metabolism and reduce glutamate levels in normal appearing white matter and gray matter.
