Abstract

Molecular self‐diffusion coefficients of water (0.75 ± 0.05), Nacetylaspartate (0.27 ± 0.04), creatines (0.27 ± 0.04), and cholines (0.28 ± 0.08) × 10^−5^ cm^2^ s^−1^ were obtained from localized proton NMR spectra of rat brain in vivo using diffusion‐weighted stimulated‐echo (STEAM) sequences with a diffusion time of (Δ − δ/3) = 17 ms.

This contribution reports the first direct and noninvasive observation of cerebral glucose in normal anesthetized rats (n = 16) using short-echo-time localized proton NMR spectroscopy (2.35 T, STEAM, TR = 6000 ms, TE = 20 ms, 125 microliters). In addition to resonances from N-acetyl aspartate (NAA),
