A study of the freezing of water in human uterine muscle by proton magnetic resonance.
Human uterine muscle and its nuclear fractions have been studied by means of nuclear magnetic resonance at temperatures from 300 degrees K to 143 degrees K. Different proton populations have been detected above and below the freezing point. On this basis it is suggested that the freezing of water in uterine muscle starts at the cell nuclei.
