Abstract

Localized proton MR spectra of mouse skeletal muscle obtained at 7 T show dipole-dipole coupling effects for creatine and putative taurine resonances and for the lactate methine signal. These effects are independent of the presence of creatine kinase. The intensity of the methylene (1)H resonance of creatine is not different between wild-type and creatine kinase deficient mice, which have a lower phosphocreatine content. (1)H-MR spectra acquired post-mortem from wild-type mouse skeletal muscle parallel to B(0) show a linewidth decrease for the methyl resonance of creatine and a 20% signal intensity loss for its methylene peak concurrent with the total breakdown of phosphocreatine as observed by (31)P-MR spectroscopy. However, with the... (More)

Localized proton MR spectra of mouse skeletal muscle obtained at 7 T show dipole-dipole coupling effects for creatine and putative taurine resonances and for the lactate methine signal. These effects are independent of the presence of creatine kinase. The intensity of the methylene (1)H resonance of creatine is not different between wild-type and creatine kinase deficient mice, which have a lower phosphocreatine content. (1)H-MR spectra acquired post-mortem from wild-type mouse skeletal muscle parallel to B(0) show a linewidth decrease for the methyl resonance of creatine and a 20% signal intensity loss for its methylene peak concurrent with the total breakdown of phosphocreatine as observed by (31)P-MR spectroscopy. However, with the muscle at the magic angle no changes in the appearance and intensity of creatine (and taurine) resonances are observed. These results indicate that the changes observed for creatine resonances are related to altered dipolar couplings and that the intensity of the methylene peak does not necessarily reflect muscular phosphocreatine content.
