## Abstract The integrated ^13^C NMR intensity of the glycogen Cl resonance was measured in skeletal muscle (biceps femoris region) of nine rabbits under __in vivo__ conditions. Concurrent chemical determinations of glycogen content showed that the __in vivo__ signal was 1.02 Β± 0.06 the intensity o

Abstract
Our previous solution studies of the proton relaxation properties of glycogen H1 have shown significant dipolar crossβrelaxation with intraβring H2 and interβring H4β² protons characterized by a correlation time Ο~c~= 2.7 Γ 10^β9^ s. This leads to a significant negative Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE) of glycogen H1 following either transient or steady state perturbations of the longitudinal magnetization of dipolar coupled protons, especially H2 and H4β². Here we use the NOE to edit selectively the H1 resonance of glycogen in the rat liver in vivo using a surface coil probe. The approach shows the possibility of measuring glycogen in vivo with high sensitivity using ^1^H NMR.

An in vivo 13C NMR study was performed to investigate whether the relaxation properties of the C-1 carbon of the glucopyranose residues of glycogen changed as the molecule increased in size. There was no change in resonance intensity or linewidth. Therefore, no significant change in T1 or T2 was obs
## Abstract We have noninvasively detected the proton signal of an antineoplastic agent Iproplatin __in vivo__ by selective multiple quantum coherence transfer (SelβMQC). Without isotopic labeling or chemical modification, the SelβMQC method labels Iproplatin by its intrinsic proton multiple quantu
## Abstract A reliable quantification of __in vivo__ ^1^H MRS spectra is hampered by extensive line overlap, by intensity distortions due to the water suppressing pulse sequence and complex modulation patterns of __J__βcoupled spins, and by deviations between the experimental and model lineshapes i
