Abstract

13 C NMR is a powerful tool for monitoring metabolic fluxes in vivo . The recent availability of automated dynamic nuclear polarization equipment for hyperpolarizing 13 C nuclei now offers the potential to measure metabolic fluxes through select enzyme-catalyzed steps with substantially improved sensitivity. Here, we investigated the metabolism of hyperpolarized [1- 13 C 1 ]pyruvate in a widely used model for physiology and pharmacology, the perfused rat heart. Dissolved 13 CO 2 , the immediate product of the first step of the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase, was observed with a temporal resolution of ≈1 s along with H 13 CO 3 − , the hydrated form of 13 CO 2 generated catalytically by carbonic anhydrase. In hearts presented with the medium-chain fatty acid octanoate in addition to hyperpolarized [1- 13 C 1 ]pyruvate, production of 13 CO 2 and H 13 CO 3 − was suppressed by ≈90%, whereas the signal from [1- 13 C 1 ]lactate was enhanced. In separate experiments, it was shown that O 2 consumption and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux were unchanged in the presence of added octanoate. Thus, the rate of appearance of 13 CO 2 and H 13 CO 3 − from [1- 13 C 1 ]pyruvate does not reflect production of CO 2 in the TCA cycle but rather reflects flux through pyruvate dehydrogenase exclusively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
