Magnetization transfer (MT) can occur via chemical
exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and/or dipole-dipole
interactions (Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement or NOE).
This study aims to investigate the sensitivity of MT in
the broad definition to oxidative stress through
controlled ex vivo studies. Z-spectra were acquired from
egg white and lamb brain tissues treated with hydrogen
peroxide for one hour. In the Z-spectra, distinctive
reductions in the NOE, CEST and the semi-solid MT
contrasts were seen due to induced oxidative stress. We
demonstrated the sensitivity of magnetization transfer
is dependent on the level of induced oxidative stress.
