โฆ Synopsis
One of the common features of epilepsy is a change in glucose metabolism at the site of seizure activity during and between seizures. The noninvasive in situ study of glucose transport and metabolism by NMR can potentially provide detailed information about this phenomena. In this short review, we will discuss the principles of 13C-glucose NMR studies of the brain and compare the advantages and disadvantages of this method to those of 18F-deoxyglucose studies using positron emission tomography (PET).

We detected glutamate C4 and C3 labeling in the monkey brain during an infusion of [U-13C6]glucose, using a simple 1H PRESS sequence without 13C editing or decoupling. Point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) spectra revealed decreases in 12C-bonded protons, and increases in 13C-bonded protons of glutama
We review the information obtained by 13 C NMR methods on the metabolic compartmentation of the adult mammalian brain with emphasis on its quantitative aspects. Classical radiotracer evidence and more recent 13 C NMR results support the presence in the brain of at least two glutamate pools, small an
