| Popis: | This study is the first report on the multiexponential T2 relaxation of the 13C-1 carbon of glycogen. In contrast to T1 relaxation, which does not display observable multiexponential decay behavior, T2 relaxation is described by a continuous distribution of T2 times. Changes in molecular weight and sample viscosity, which affect the overall mobility of the glycogen particle have little influence on T1 and T2 relaxation times. This is in contradiction with earlier results that T2 is dominated by the overall motion of the glycogen particles [L.-H. Zang Biochemistry 29, 6815-6820 (1990)]. T1 depends strongly on the external field Bo and is almost temperature independent in the range 23-37 degrees C whereas T2 is field independent and varies appreciably with temperature. The experimental T1 and T2 relaxation data are shown to be consistent with existing theoretical models for relaxation, suitably modified to include a distribution of correlation times for the internal motions. The presence of fast decaying components (short T2) in the FID implies broad line components in the frequency spectrum and the corresponding need to appropriately set the integration limits for the quantification of the glycogen peak. |
