Abstract
A method of detecting nitric oxide in an aqueous body fluid of a mammal comprises introducing into the body fluid the agents required to form a water-soluble, stable, paramagnetic complex with nitric oxide and then subjecting the body fluid to magnetic resonance methods which can detect the complex to determine if any nitric oxide was present. A paramagnetic complex containing nitric oxide also is described, as well as, a method of diagnosing septic shock in a mammal by stabilizing and detecting the presence of nitric oxide in a body fluid of the mammal.
