Definitions
Chemical symbols of ions (Na +, K +, Rb +, Li + ) in square brackets: concentrations of free ions; subscripts “in” and “out”: intracellular and extracellular concentrations, respectively. Infarct/infarction: nonviable organ area; ischemia: insufficient blood supply to organ area. NMR: nuclear magnetic resonance, which involves MRS and MRI, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging, respectively. T 1 and T 2 : longitudinal and transverse relaxation times of NMR-sensitive nuclei, respectively. Perfusion: supply of blood or its substitute (perfusate) into the vascular system of an organ (e.g., heart, kidney, liver). Revascularization: opening of obstructed vessel(s) and restoration of blood flow (reperfusion).
Introduction
Rubidium (symbol Rb) is the 37th element of the 1st group of the periodic chart, closest analog of an alkali metal,...
