Fluorine-19-nuclear magnetic resonance (19F-NMR) spectroscopic detection of the NMR-active Ca2+ indicator 5-fluoro-1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (5F-BAPTA) is one method for measuring cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and has been used previously to measure [Ca2+]i in isolated cells and perfused organs. The aim of the present investigation was to demonstrate the feasibility of determining [Ca2+]i in vivo and in situ using 19F-NMR and 5F-BAPTA. Experiments were performed on male Sprague-Dawley rats with a surface-coil antenna employed for NMR interrogation. The Ca2+ indicator, 5F-BAPTA, was infused either intravenously (kidney, spleen) or intraventricularly (brain) as a 100 mg/ml solution of the cell-permeant acetoxymethyl ester (5F-BAPTA-AM) in dimethyl sulfoxide. Rats tolerated intravenous infusion without evident change in mean arterial blood pressure. In all tissues examined, kidney, spleen, and brain, [Ca2+]i was approximately 200 nM. To our knowledge, these results represent the first in vivo and in situ determinations of [Ca2+]i employing 19F-NMR.

The employment of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for studying crystalline porous materials formation is reviewed in the context of the development of in situ methodologies for the observation of the real synthesis medium, with the aim of unraveling the nucleation and growth processes mechanism. Both liquid and solid state NMR techniques are considered to probe the local environment at molecular level of the precursor species either soluble in the liquid phase or present in the reactive gel. Because the mass transport between the liquid and solid components of the heterogeneous system plays a key role in the synthesis course, the two methods provide unique insights and are complementary. Recent technological advances for hydrothermal conditions NMR are detailed and their applications to zeolite and related materials crystallization are illustrated. Achievements in the field are exemplified with some representative studies of relevance to zeolites, aluminophosphate zeotypes, and metal-organic frameworks.

ABSTRACT In vivo 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to elucidate the pathways and the regulation of pyruvate metabolism and pyruvate-lactate cometabolism noninvasively in living-cell suspensions of Propionibacterium freudenreichiisubsp. shermanii. The most important result of this work concerns the modification of fluxes of pyruvate metabolism induced by the presence of lactate. Pyruvate was temporarily converted to lactate and alanine; the flux to acetate synthesis was maintained, but the flux to propionate synthesis was increased; and the reverse flux of the first part of the Wood-Werkman cycle, up to acetate synthesis, was decreased. Pyruvate was consumed at apparent initial rates of 148 and 90 μmol · min−1 · g−1 (cell dry weight) when it was the sole substrate or cometabolized with lactate, respectively. Lactate was consumed at an apparent initial rate of 157 μmol · min−1 · g−1when it was cometabolized with pyruvate. P. shermanii used several pathways, namely, the Wood-Werkman cycle, synthesis of acetate and CO2, succinate synthesis, gluconeogenesis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and alanine synthesis, to manage its pyruvate pool sharply. In both types of experiments, acetate synthesis and the Wood-Werkman cycle were the metabolic pathways used most.
