title: [In vivo investigations of stress susceptibility in pigs by means of magnetic resonance spectroscopy].
abstract: 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed on 19 to 55 kg weighing pigs of different MHS genotypes to study the changes of phosphorus components (inorganic phosphate --Pi, phosphocreatine--PCr and adenosine triphosphate--ATP) of muscle metabolism as well as intramuscular pH under application of halothane. Aim of the present study was to observe the changes in energy metabolism and to perform a comparison with also measured blood parameters. Both, NN and Nn pigs did not show any changes during halothane exposure in phosphorus spectra, but in all animals a partially metabolically compensated respiratoric acidosis was found. In all MHS positive pigs a rapid fall of PCr and a corresponding raise of Pi levels in muscle was observed.
