Patent ID: 8722420

Claim:
A method for detecting in real time an oxidation and/or reduction reaction of an endogenous molecule, comprising steps of: obtaining information on the endogenous biomolecule by applying a magnetic resonance method to a living body which is a subject to be measured; obtaining imaging information by processing the information on the endogenous biomolecule; and displaying the imaging information; wherein the step of obtaining information on the endogenous biomolecule is that of obtaining: (i)information on ubiquinone, flavin adenine dinucleotide, vitamin K, or ascorbic acid in the subject to be measured; or (ii) information on ubiquinone, flavin adenine dinucleotide, vitamin K, or ascorbic acid in a sample obtained from the living body as the subject; the subject or the sample has been preliminarily administered with NADH and the endogenous biomolecule; and the magnetic resonance method is either an Overhauser Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) method or an electron spin resonance method.
