Recently, hyperpolarized substrates generated through dynamic nuclear polarization have been introduced to study in vivo metabolism. Injection of hyperpolarized [1-C-13] pyruvate, the most widely used substrate, allows detection of time courses of [1-C-13] pyruvate and its metabolic products, such as [1-C-13] lactate and C-13-bicarbonate, in various organs. However, quantitative metabolic modeling of in vivo data to measure specific metabolic rates remains challenging without measuring the input function. In this study, we demonstrate that the input function of [1-C-13] pyruvate can be measured in vivo in the rat carotid artery using an implantable coil.

We report the isotropic-liquid crystalline phase diagram of 3.0 nm x 60 nm CdSe nanorods dispersed in anhydrous cyclohexane. The coexistence concentrations of both phases are found to be lower and the biphasic region wider than the results predicted by the hard rod model, indicating that the attractive interaction between the nanorods may be important in the formation of the liquid crystalline phase in this system.

The inclusion complex of cryptophane-A and chloroform dissolved in two nonchiral liquid-crystalline environments was investigated via C-13 NMR. Stable solutions of oriented complexes were prepared using aromatic (ZLI 1132) and aliphatic (ZLI 1695) thermotropic nematic liquid crystals as solvents; ordering of the complexes was manifested by the H-1-C-13 dipolar splitting of the C-13 resonance of labeled chloroform. In both solutions, the dipolar splitting for the bound ligands was substantially larger than that obtained for the free ligands, indicating a significant increase in ligand ordering upon complexation despite the absence of direct contact with the oriented solvent molecules. A similar enhancement in ordering was observed for complexed ligands compared to that for free ligands in both liquid-crystalline solvents. Also, the application of heteronuclear decoupling to the ZLI 1695 solution resulted in a reduced line width for the bound C-13 chloroform resonance, suggesting that a significant component of the observed line broadening may originate from intermolecular couplings between host and guest molecules. These results demonstrate the potential for using restored dipolar couplings to investigate structural and dynamical aspects of inclusion complexes in solution.

Low-power phase-modulated Lee-Goldburg homonuclear decoupling was used to record PDLF spectra of fluorine-substituted benzene derivatives dissolved in nematic thermotropic liquid crystalline solvents. The low-power decoupling minimizes sample heating during RE irradiation while still achieving highly resolved PDLF spectra. The method is illustrated by recording spectra for 1,3-dichloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzene, 1,3-dichloro-4-fluorobenzene, and 1, 2-difluoro benzene dissolved in different nematic solvents.

In this Letter the possibility of selective excitation in coupled multispin systems is studied theoretically. A general method of transforming any selective pulse developed for uncoupled systems into a form that is selective in coupled systems is presented. This is accomplished by adding a small perturbation to a decoupling radiofrequency (RF) field. When viewed in an interaction frame given by the decoupling RF field, this method generates, in an averaged sense, a propagator similar to the propagator of uncoupled spins under a shaped RF pulse. Preliminary experimental results are presented for the case of selective excitation in proton nuclear magnetic resonance in liquid crystals. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
