[Metabolic kinetics in the brains in infants with IUGR, respiratory distress syndrome, seizures and asphyxia].
31-P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows noninvasive measurements of cerebral phosphorus compounds: ATP, phosphocreatine (PCr), inorganic phosphate (Pi), phosphomonoesters (PME) and phosphodiesters (PDE). In this paper we reported our MRS data from the brains of infants with intrauterine growth retardation, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal seizures or neonatal asphyxia, and discussed the possibilities to prevent brain damage due to these perinatal troubles.
