The biochemistry of living tissues: Examination by MRS

Abstract
MRS defines the molecular state of water, the chemical environment of cells and tissues and the qualitative and quantitative state of intermediary metabolism. Because cancer has disordered physiology, obvious differences in MR spectra can be observed. However, the detailed understanding of the biochemistry of cancer will also emerge from careful, quantitative multinuclear MR. The intermediary metabolism of ATP, the Krebs cycle, creatine, cholines and lipids, is discussed. Finally, the biochemical challenge posed by oncogenes may be amenable to MR analyses.
