Signals attributable to amide protons and used in previous studies to measure intracellular pH were observed in the low-field region of the H-1-MR spectra of four tumour cell lines: T98G, MCF-7, A 172 and HeLa. The signals were more intense in the spectra of the two cell lines (T98G and MCF-7) characterised by higher concentrations of glutathione (GSH). After comparison with H-1-MR spectra of GSH in solution at different pH values, the peaks were attributed to NHs of the Cys and Gly residues of GSH. Modification of the intracellular concentration of GSH by treatment with buthionine sulfoximine produced comparable decreases in the intensity of aliphatic signals of GSH and NHS tinder examination. The assignment was therefore confirmed. Copyright (c) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
