Abstract
^31^P NMR spectroscopy was used serially to study rejecting (ACIβLEW) and nonrejecting (AClβACl) orthotopic liver transplants in rats. Recipients were evaluated on postβtransplant days 1,3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The relative changes in phosphomonoester (PME), inorganic phosphate (P~i~), highβenergy phosphates and pH were studied. The earliest significant difference between the rejecting and nonrejecting groups was a decrease in the Ξ±βNTP peak area on Day 5. This was followed by significant decreases in Ξ²βNTP and pH, and increases in PME and P~i~ on Day 7. Highβresolution ^31^P NMR spectra of perchloric acid extracts demonstrated the PME increase to be due mainly to elevated phosphoethanolamine. Using the parameter (P~i~ + PME)/(Ξ± + Ξ² + Ξ³βNTP), rejecting livers were distinguished from nonrejecting livers at a moderate stage of rejection.

## Abstract Previous __in vivo__ studies have demonstrated that Ξ±, Ξ². and Ξ³ ATP chemical shifts measured by ^31^P NMR spectroscopy can be used to determine intracellular magnesium in erythrocytes, but up to now such results have not been confirmed in striated muscle __in vivo.__ We report __BATP__
Prior in vitro studies, utilizing 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) to measure the chemical shift (sigma) of beta-ATP and lengthening of the phosphocreatine spin-spin (T2) relaxation time, suggested an assessment of their efficacy in measuring magnesium depletion in vivo.

This study was designed to evaluate the use of serum hyaluronate as a marker of liver endothelial cell function after liver transplantation. We performed orthotopic liver transplantation in both isogeneic and allogeneic rejector models. After transplantation, hepatocyte function was assessed on the
