Extract

These new developments show the value of MR in studying a phase of metabolism hitherto unavailable, namely that of “preventive” study prior to significant lactate formation and surely prior to the cell damage edema and cell death so characteristic of stroke and heart disease. We believe that these approaches can be developed appropriately for clinical application and will thereby open a new type of diagnosis and therapy.
