Abstract
In vivo MRS measurement of deoxymyoglobin (deoxyโMb) in human forearms was performed by observing the Nโฮด proton of F8 proximal histidine. The concentration of deoxyโMb reflects the oxygen level in the muscle. In resting muscles, the deoxyโMb level was below the detection sensitivity. When ischemia was introduced by arterial occlusion, the timeโresolved NMR spectra (with 1 min resolution) was recorded to follow the change in the deoxyโMb signal. The result shows that deoxyโMb signal builds up and levels off within 6 min. This technique may be used to study bioenergetics of muscle during exercise and under pathological conditions. ยฉ 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
