(1)H MRSI in vivo is increasingly being used to diagnose prostate cancer noninvasively by measurement of the resonance from choline-containing phospholipid metabolites. Although (31) P NMR in vivo or in vitro is potentially an excellent method for probing the phospholipid metabolites prominent in prostate cancer, it has been little used recently. Here, we report an in vitro (31)P NMR comparison of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, focusing on the levels of the major phospholipid metabolites.

On one side, for approximately 9 months we injected groundwater amended with 1-3 mg/L benzene, toluene, and o-xylene (BToX). On the other side, we injected the same, adding approximately 500 mg/L ethanol.
