Observation of a 1H double quantum filtered signal of water in biological tissues

Abstract:
The observation of a 1H double quantum filtered (DQF) NMR signal of water in bovine sciatic nerve, bovine articular cartilage, rat tail tendon, and rat brain is reported. The origin of this signal in rat tail tendon was found to be a result of residual dipolar interaction between water protons and macromolecular protons. The dependence of the width of the 1H DQF spectra on the orientation indicated that in rat tail tendon the effective director of the residual dipolar interaction is parallel to the collagen fibers. 1H DQF NMR may be applied in imaging where the contrast obtained is related to the degree of order in the tissue.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
