✦ Synopsis
The 31P NMR spectrum of perfused rat liver was found to be dependent on the exogenous carbon available to the tissue. When pyruvate was supplied to liver initially perfused with lactate, Pi decreased, phosphoenol pyruvate and phosphomonoesters increased, and nucleotide pools remained the same. It is proposed that these changes can be used to evaluate liver function.

Intensity modulated 31P NMR spectra were obtained using the pulse sequence published by Patt and Shoolery. This attached proton test (APT) technique for signal assignment could be applied to systems with long-range heteronuclear couplings in P- 0-C--H fragments. In a model system derived from the al
## Abstract ^31^P NMR spectroscopy was used serially to study rejecting (ACI→LEW) and nonrejecting (ACl→ACl) orthotopic liver transplants in rats. Recipients were evaluated on post‐transplant days 1,3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The relative changes in phosphomonoester (PME), inorganic phosphate (P~i~), high
## Abstract In this study, acute effects of cadmium ions (Cd^2+^) on energy metabolism in rat livers were analyzed __in vivo__ after intravenous administration using ^31^P NMR. Both inorganic phosphate (__P__~i~) and nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) peaks of __in vivo__ Cdtreated livers gradually decr
