Tentative ¹H chemical shift assignment of HR MAS MR spectra obtained from human rectal cancer tissue and xenografts. Chemical shift referencing is relative to TSP. Peak multiplicity is given as s: singlet, d:doublet, dd: double doublet, t: triplet, q: quartet, m: multiplet or c: complex. Assigned numbers correspond to the numbering in Fig. 1 and Fig 2.
