Simultaneous investigation of cardiac pyruvate dehydrogenase flux, Krebs cycle metabolism and pH, using hyperpolarized [1,2- C ]pyruvate in vivo
C MR spectroscopy studies performed on hearts ex vivo and in vivo following perfusion of prepolarized [1- C]pyruvate have shown that changes in pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) flux may be monitored non-invasively. However, to allow investigation of Krebs cycle metabolism, the C label must be placed on...
