## Abstract Recent __in vivo__ ^1^H MRS studies of muscle oxygen levels by means of myoglobin (Mb) oxygenation have necessitated an investigation of the possible contamination from deoxy‐hemoglobin (Hb). To determine the contribution of Hb in these NMR measurements, we studied the NMR visibility of

Abstract
The sensitivity of in vivo MRS of the N‐δ proton of the proximal histidine of deoxymyoglobin in human skeletal muscles is discussed. Longitudinal relaxation time T~1~ of this deoxymyoglobin signal was measured in cuffed human forearms at 1.5 T and found to be 9.9 ms. Deoxymyoglobin spectra can be obtained from a forearm in seconds. The detection sensitivity of deoxymyoglobin in fully ischemic skeletal muscles and that of^31^P MRS of PCr in normal resting muscles are compared.
