Estimation of intracellular redox state using measured NADH/NAD+ ratio through 31P spectroscopy is an attractive tool, as alternative methods for direct assessment are invasive in nature. In this study, we assess the ability of 31P MRS to quantify the NADH/NAD+ ratio during ischemia/reperfusion injury in perfused rat heart.
