This study is aimed to reveal the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation on human brain phosphate metabolites using 31P MRS. At first, 31P MRS study was conducted, after that the subjects took a session in hyperbaric chamber (1.2 atmosphere, 100% O2) and then 31P MRS study was repeated. The increase of α-ATP peak intensity was revealed after hyperbaric oxygenation, while other peak intensities and pH remained unchanged. This phenomenon is likely to happen because of [NAD(H)] increase, that might confirm the positive effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on human brain metabolism.
