title: Noninvasive in vivo 13C-NMR spectroscopy of a 13C-labeled xenobiotic in the rat.
abstract: This study demonstrates that the xenobiotic product, 1-(o-chlorophenyl)-1-(p-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloro-3-13C-propane can be monitored in the liver of an intact animal by in vivo 13C surface coil NMR spectroscopy after intraperitoneal administration. The carbon-13 label could be detected after a single dose of only 200 mg/kg of the product. The intrahepatic changes of the signal intensity of the labeled product were monitored as a function of time. No signals corresponding to metabolites could be detected.
