Abstract

Macromolecule resonances underlying metabolites in ^1^H NMR spectra were investigated in temporal lobe biopsy tissue from epilepsy patients and from localized ^1^H spectra of the brains of healthy volunteers. The ^1^H NMR spectrum of brain tissue was cornpared with that of cytosol and dialyzed cytosol after removal of low molecular weight molecules (4500 daltons) at 8.4 and 2.1 Tesla. The assignment of specific resonances to macromolecules in 2.1 Tesla, short‐ TE, localized human brain ^1^H NMR spectra in vivo was made on the basis of a J‐editing method using the spectral parameters (δ, J) and connectivities determined from 2D experiments in vitro. Two prominent corinectivities associated with macromolecules in vitro (0.93–2.05 δ and 1.6–3.00 δ) were also detected in vivo by the J‐editing method. Advantage was taken of the large difference in measured T~1~ relaxation times between macromolecule and metabolite resonances in the brain spectrum to acquire ‘metabolite‐nulled’ macromolecule spectra. These spectra appear identical to the spectra of macromolecules isolated in vitro.

In short echo time proton MR spectra of the brain, resonances from macromolecules are visible. The macromolecular resonances in the 0.5-2.0 ppm region can be affected by lipid contamination arising from fat-containing regions outside the selected volume of interest (VOI).

## Abstract Short‐echo‐time magnetic resonance spectra of human brain contain broad contributions from macromolecules. As they are a priori of unknown shape and intensity, they pose a problem if one wants to quantitate the overlying spectral features from low‐molecular‐weight metabolites. On the ot

Macromolecules contribute broad "background" resonances to the 1 H NMR brain spectra at short echo times. The application of long echo times is the most widely used method for removing these resonances. Here, it is demonstrated that these background resonances may be suppressed at short echo times u

## Abstract Localized ^1^H NMR spectra at TE = 12 ms were obtained from cerebralcortex of human subjects using ISIS with surface suppression. The 2.29‐ppm resonance was assigned to C4 glutamate with contributions from C4 glutamine and GABA using __in vivo__ spectral editing and comparison of chemic
