The development and application of new hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques for the non-invasive assessment of metabolism in the rodent heart

The aim of this thesis was to develop and apply new hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques, to assess <em>in vivo</em> metabolism in the rodent heart. Initial work using rat models of heart disease has provided key findings, such as significant increases in pyruvate de...
