The 1H lactate/n-acetyl aspartate ratio is commonly used for the quantitation of brain lactate under pathological conditions. We demonstrate that the intensity of the lactate methyl region in water-suppressed, nonedited 1H spectra increases following mild brain trauma as a result of factors other th

โฆ Synopsis
The lactate concentration was estimated from the spectra by comparison to signals from N-acetylaspartate, creatine + phosphocreatine, and water. The effects of Tz, phase modulation, and solvent suppression were taken into account. The estimated concentrations were compared to determinations performed on the same brains after extraction. The lactate concentration estimated from the intact brain spectra was between 70 and 90% of the values determined in vitro, on the extracts, depending on the concentration standard used. If N-acetylaspartate was used as the standard then the proportion of detected lactate (92%) was not significantly different from 1oc%

## Abstract In this report we describe the three factors that need to be measured when quantitating an edited resonance relative to an internal standard using a surface coil. These factors are necessary by virtue of the water, fat suppressing, and localization schemes used in studying a ^1^H metabo
A fast and simple method of 1H-NMR spectroscopic control of liposome membrane integrity is suggested. The method is based on the redistribution of intensities between two singlet 1H-NMR signals--from intraliposomal marker compound (nitrilotriacetic acid sodium salt, 1H-NMR signal at 4 p.p.m.) and fr
An experimental protocol for the quantitation of lactate is demonstrated for in vivo 'H NMR surface coil spectroscopy. The in vivo lactate concentration can be calculated by comparing the in vivo and in vitro ratios of lactate and N-acetylaspartate (NAA) NMR signals. With this protocol, approximatel
