β¦ Synopsis
NMR spectroscopical measurements of relaxation times were conducted on muscle, intestine, fatty tissue and cerebral cortex and white matter of the rat at various time intervals following removal of the tissue. It appeared that most tissues can be stored at 4Β°C up to 24 hours without noticeable effects on NMR relaxation parameters. Exceptions are the T2 of muscle and the T, and T2 of intestine, which tended to change in the first hour after biopsy. Relaxation parameters change considerably after fixation of the tissues. Therefore the effects of fixation have to be taken into account when carrying out NMR measurements on fixed tissues.
