APPLICATIONS OF NMR TECHNIQUES TO BIOLOGICAL TISSUES

Abstract

Abstract:

There are a great number of physiological and biochemical reactions inside biological tissues, which are either independent or correlated to each other. Useful information can be obtained by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique in studying the metabolic processes. There are presently three kinds of NMR techniques for studying biological tissues: ① in vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS); ② High-Resolution in vitro Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HR-NMR); ③ High-Resolution in vitro Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HR-MAS NMR), each has its own advantages and disadvantages and are complementary to each other. In this article, progresses in the NMR studies of biological tissues are reviewed.

Key words: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vivo (MRS), high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vitro (HR-NMR), high-resolution magic angle spinning magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vitro (HR-MAS NMR), biological tissues
