β¦ Synopsis
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 reagents to discriminate between NMR signals from the two compartments. We find that the observed MQF signal arises predominantly from the extracellular space in the normal heart, and from the intraceUular space in the ischaemic heart. However, the quenching effect of the shift reagent may hide some of the extracellular MQF signal, especially during ischaemia. Estimates of intracellular and extracellular relaxation times are obtained and possible mechanisms of the interaction discussed.

## Abstract We investigated the contribution of extracellular Na^+^ to the multipleβquantum filtered ^23^Na NMR signal of perfused rat hearts to determine if the presence of shift reagent Dy(PPP__i__)~2~ and inorganic phosphate were somehow responsible for the generation of extracellular multiple q
The feasibility of employing triple-quantum-filtered (TQF) or double-quantum-filtered (DQF) 23Na NMR spectra to monitor intracellular Na (Nain) content in isolated rat hearts perfused in the absence of a chemical-shift reagent (SR) was investigated. This necessitated characterization of the followin
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 liv
