## Abstract Many diseases of the heart are characterised by changes in substrate utilisation, which is regulated in part by the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). Consequently, there is much interest in the __in vivo__ evaluation of PDH activity in a range of physiological and pat
## Abstract Dynamic nuclear polarization can be used to increase the sensitivity of solution state ^13^C magnetic resonance spectroscopy by four orders of magnitude. We show here that [1β^13^C]glutamate can be polarized to 28%, representing a 35,000βfold increase in its sensitivity to detection at
## Abstract The metabolism of choline in rabbit brain was studied by the noninvasive approach of __in vivo__ ^13^C NMR spectroscopy. ^13^CβEnriched precursors were introduced into the brain. Surgery of the head skin was avoided through controlled localization of the surface coil. For longβterm accu
