✦ Synopsis

Lipid linewidths were measured in the plasma proton spectra of young women. The individuals taking a contraceptive pill associating ethinyloestradiol and levonorgestrel or norethisterone were found with an average linewidth 2.5 Hz narrower than controls. As this drug regimen systematically induces an increase in plasma VLDL and a decrease in HDL/LDL ratio, our observation supports the theory that the Fossel test reflects plasma lipids abnormalities in cancer patients.

500 MHz 1H NMR studies of rat urine are used to assess metabolic changes resulting from aging (0.5-20 months) and changes in diet (casein versus chow). Aging rats fed chow diets decrease their excretion of citrate and 2-oxoglutarate, while the output of taurine and creatinine increases. Only young r

## Abstract Magic‐angle spinning (MAS) has recently been shown to enhance spectral resolution in NMR examinations of intact biological tissue ex vivo. This work demonstrates that freezing certain tissue samples before examination by ^1^H MAS NMR can have a marked effect on their spectra. Spectra of
