β¦ Synopsis
Triple quantum (TQ)-filtered 23Na NMR spectroscopy and the shift reagent, TmDOTP5-, have been used to evaluate the contributions of intra- (Na+i) and extracellular (Na+e) sodium to the TQ-filtered signal in the rat liver, in situ. Na+e contributed significantly to the total TQ-filtered signal in live animals, and the intensity of this signal did not change postmortem. The TQ-filtered Na+i signal increased by approximately 380% over a period of 1 h postmortem, whereas the single quantum (SQ) Na+i increased by 90%. The constancy of the TQ-filtered Na+i signal indicates that changes in total TQ-filtered 23Na signal intensity in liver (without a shift reagent) may accurately reflect changes in TQ-filtered Na+i signal intensity. The large percent increase in the TQ-filtered Na+i signal as compared to the SQ signal suggests that the fraction of Na+i interacting with macromolecules increases after death.

It has been proposed that multiple quantum filtered (MQF) =Na NMR spectroscopy may distinguish between sodium in the intra-and extracellular spaces, in uiuo, and without the requirement for toxic shift reagents. We have investigated the origin of such signals in perfused rat hearts, using shift reag
The utility of triple-quantum (TQ)-filtered 23 Na NMR spectroscopy for discriminating between intra-and extracellular Na + (Na + i and Na + e , respectively) in a solid tumor in vivo was evaluated using TmDOTP 5-as a 23 Na shift reagent.

## Abstract A method is suggested whereby the shifted extracellular triple quantum filtered ^23^Na signal of an isolated organ is completely eliminated. The method is based on the long relaxation time of the triple quantum coherence and on its fast evolution rate. When the carrier frequency is set
## Abstract Multipleβquantum filtered (MQF) NMR offers the possibility of monitoring intracellular (IC) Na content in the absence of shift reagents (SR), provided that (i) the contribution from IC Na to the MQF spectrum is substantial and responds to a change in IC Na content, and (ii) the amplitud
Multiple-quantum (MQ) -filtered 23Na NMR has been proposed as a means to partially discriminate between intracellular and extracellular sodium. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been a major obstacle to MQ-filtered 23Na imaging becoming an important technique for biological and clinical a
