✦ Synopsis

IP NMR spin-lattice (TI) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times of phosphocreatine, ATP, inorganic phosphate, and phosphomonoesters have been measured in vivo at 4.1 T in rat brain and rat brain tumors implanted on nude mice. The relaxation data were acquired using a phase-cycled saturation-recovery spin-echo sequence. The problems associated with the phase modulation of the ATP lines by the homonuclear coupling constants were overcome by using selective refocusing pulses for the T2 measurements. In all the metabolites, large differences (1 to 2 orders of magnitude) are observed between the two relaxation times. TI values in rat brain tumors are 30 to 90% longer than their counterparts in normal rat brain. T2 values follow the same trend with smaller variations except for phosphocreatine values which seem much less sensitive to the metabolic state of the tissues. o 1987 Academic Press, Inc.

Effects of neurodegeneration have been linked to inefficient detoxification of free radicals due to lowered concentrations of antioxidants, especially glutathione, in the brain. In the biosynthesis of glutathione, cysteine concentration is generally the limiting factor. Glutathione and cysteine admi
