Patent Pending Oxygen-17 is a low abundant isotope of oxygen (0.0373% in seawater; approx. twice as abundant as Deuterium). Being the only stable isotope of oxygen possessing a nuclear spin(+5/2) and a favorable characteristic of field-independent relaxation in liquid water, this enables NMR studies of oxidative metabolic pathways through compounds containing 17O at high magnetic fields (i.e. metabolically produced H217O water by oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria[3]).
