The intracellular sodium concentration and intracellular volume of human red blood cells were determined from 23Na and 1H NMR spectra. It is shown that sodium dissolved in the intracellular water has a concentration higher than that previously published. The intracellular sodium concentration measur

β¦ Synopsis
Glucose metabolism of human red blood cells was investigated using carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy under both oxygenated and nonoxygenated conditions. These results show that under oxygenated conditions reversal of 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde to glucose is in competition with its catabolism to lactate.

Hepatic lipid content was assessed noninvasively in 15 patients with hepatic steatosis by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and compared in a double-blind fashion with histological grading and morphometric quantitation of fat in liver biopsies taken within 2 weeks of the study. The
An NMR method was developed for measuring the isotopic enrichment of glutathione in extracts of cells fed a medium containing [3,3-13 C 2 ]cystine. Two sublines of human mammary adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells were exposed to growth medium containing the labeled cystine for varying periods, treated with
## Abstract The neurological consequences of diabetes mellitus have recently been receiving greater attention in both clinical and experimental settings. The deleterious effect of hyperglycemia and altered oxidative substrate availability on the diabetic brain is the subject of many studies. The ai
## Abstract Dynamic nuclear polarization can be used to increase the sensitivity of solution state ^13^C magnetic resonance spectroscopy by four orders of magnitude. We show here that [1β^13^C]glutamate can be polarized to 28%, representing a 35,000βfold increase in its sensitivity to detection at
