β¦ Synopsis
Water proton TI (10.7 MHz; 7Β°C) and albumin and globulin contents were measured in the blood serum of 30 normal volunteers. The T I relaxivity of serum albumin and globulin (i.e., the change of water relaxation rate l/TI per concentration unit) was determined in pure albumin and globulin solutions. It is shown that more than 90% of the serum relaxation rate I/Tl is due to the proteins, making TI a nonspecific blood parameter. In addition five pathologkal serum samples were examined, explaining clearly why serum T, is not a clinically useful measurement. o 1988 Academic press, Inc.

Of particular significance is the fact that diazoketone IVb is more active than ketol Vb which is derived from it. This strongly supports the assumption that the Clauberg activity measured for the diazoketones is a measure of their inherent activity and not simply a measure of the activity of their
