Abstract
Changes in the tissue sodium gradient play an important role in cell signalling such as at the neuromuscular junction and as part of neuronal action potentials. 23Na-MRI has the ability to measure the macroscopic sodium distribution. In this study we investigated the changes in tissue sodium in an electrically stimulated and freshly excised rat leg muscle.
