Abstract
Measurements of nuclear magnetic relaxation times for protons of water in living skeletal frog muscle show the transverse relaxation time, T(2), increases when a muscle contracts isometrically. This result and other experimental data suggest that a fraction of the intracellular water molecules have restricted rotational freedom and that this fraction decreases when contraction occurs.Entities:
