“…and pure biochemicals has been extensively employed to gain better understanding of distinctive tissue constituents associated with pathologic changes. 18,23 In this work, a semiquantitative model of in vivo tissue Raman spectra is rendered based on a priori insight of inter-/intra-cellular constituents using a linear combination [i.e., NNCLSM] 23 of basis Raman spectra that represent the main biochemical constituents in GI tract. Of over 35 basis reference Raman spectra obtained from different biomolecules associated with GI tissue (e.g., actin, albumin, pepsin, pepsinogen, B-NADH, RNA, DNA, myosin, hemoglobin, collagen I, collagen II, collagen V, mucin 1, mucin 2, mucin 3, flavins, elastin, phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, glucose, glycogen, triolein, histones, beta-carotene, etc.…”
