Abstract
An ischemic clamp model of exercise was used to evaluate the potential role of blood flow in mediating changes in the magnetic resonance imaging appearance of skeletal muscle. Proton relaxation times of muscle were serially estimated in 10 healthy subjects (a) before exercise, (b) after exercise in the presence of vascular occlusion (VO~1~), (c) during vascular reocclusion after 1 minute of reperfusion (VO~2~), and (d) after reinstitution of continuous flow. T1 and T2 of active muscles were increased during VO~1~. During VO~2~, there were additional increases in relaxation times of active muscles. Reinstitution of continuous flow was associated with a continuous decrease in the T2 of exercised muscle. Hence, blood flow was not required for increases in T1 and T2 with exercise. Additional relaxation time increases occurred after a brief period of reperfusion; however, continuous flow was associated with a decrease in T2.

Several studies have suggested that muscle lactic acid production is defective in alcoholic myopathy. However, normal controls have not been evaluated. To study the effects of ethanol on the production of lactic acid in normal exercised muscle, oral ethanol (1 g per kg body weight, 20% v/v) was give
Canine X-linked muscular dystrophy (CXMD) is an inherited degenerative myopathy which is clinically [I] and pathogenetically homologous to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) [2]. In this report we present preliminary data which show that mild exercise in dystrophic dogs results in rapid and marked re

1 H MR spectra of human muscles were recorded before, during, and after fatiguing exercise. In contrast to expectations, it was found that the spectral contributions of creatine/phosphocreatine (Cr/PCr) were subject to change as a function of exercise. In particular, the dipolar-coupled methylene pr
