Abstract:
Propylene glycol (PG) is an organic solvent used in a variety of parenterally injected pharmaceutical preparations. In this current study, we analyzed neonatal brains following routine MRS evaluation at 1.5 T, using the LCModel software, with and without the addition of PG to the analysis basis-set. We suggest including PG in the LCModel basis-set for neonatal brain H-MRS to improve the discrimination and quantification of lactate and inositol.

Proton (¹H) NMR: Chemical Shift
Organic molecules primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. While all the hydrogen isotopes are NMR-active, protium or hydrogen-1 is the most abundant. It has a significant energy separation between its nuclear spin states due to its large gyromagnetic ratio. As per Boltzmann's distribution, an increase in the energy separation implies a greater excess population of nuclei available for excitation, resulting in a strong NMR absorption signal.

Molecular Models
Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.
