Abstract
The doublΓ©βquantum behavior of ^23^Na in the presence of different concentrations of Li in human erythrocytes was investigated. The ^23^Na doubleβquantum signal was quenched in both the extracellular and the intracellular compartments with increasing concentration of Li in each compartment, along with an increase in the ^23^Na T~1~ both intraβ and extracellularly. Some extracellular quenching could be observed at the near therapeutic concentration of 2 m__M__ Li. The ratio of slow to fast spinβspin (T~2~) relaxation times, obtained from the dependence of the doubleβquantum signal on creation time, approached unity at an overall Li concentration of 40 m__M.__ These results provide evidence that Li and Na compete for both intraβ and extracellular binding sites in erythrocytes.

## Abstract The triple quantum filtered ^23^Na NMR method is applied here to measure the effects of EIPA, a specific inhibitor of the Na^+^/H^+^antiporter, on relative intracellular sodium concentrations in isolated working hearts at baseline, during ischemia, and at subsequent reperfusion. In anal
