Abstract:
Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy and chemical shift selective imaging studies of in vivo glucose metabolism were performed at 2.0 T. Some metabolite peaks were observed in 13C NMR spectra, and carbon NMR imaging focused in the spectral region attributed to D-1-13C-glucose were also performed. A 13C NMR signal accumulated in the liver was detected and the average time resolution of these spectra and images were 10 and 30 minutes, respectively.
