Abstract | Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is used for non-invasively investigating metabolism and concentration of biomolecules in skeletal muscles and other tissues. MRS has a potential to become a tool for clinical diagnosis and for predicting disease prognosis. In this study, the /sup 1/H spectra of skeletal muscles with and without atrophy were obtained and a quantitative evaluation of the content of creatine in the muscles was performed. The left sciatic nerves of nine week old rats were transected and at 2 and 4 weeks after the surgery, /sup 1/H spectra of the muscles were obtained. Spectra of 11 and 13 weeks old normal rats were also obtained for controls. Water spectra were acquired from a 2/spl times/2/spl times/2 mm/sup 3/ voxel located on the left gastrocnemius muscle. The signal intensities and the relaxation times of water and creatine were then estimated. Results show that the prolongation of the T/sub 1/ relaxation times of water in the denervated muscle is attributable to a decrease in the muscle water content and an increase in the extracellular fluid space. Creatine is involved with the reaction for producing adenosine triphosphate, the essential energy source for muscular contraction. The quantification of creatine may prove useful in evaluating atrophy and recovery process of muscles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
