✦ Synopsis

(13)C MRS studies at natural abundance and after intravenous 1-(13)C glucose infusion were performed on a 1.5-T clinical scanner in four subjects. Localization to the occipital cortex was achieved by a surface coil. In natural abundance spectra glucose C(3beta,5beta), myo-inositol, glutamate C(1,2,5), glutamine C(1,2,5), N-acetyl-aspartate C(1-4,C=O), creatine CH(2), CH(3), and C(C=N), taurine C(2,3), bicarbonate HCO(-)(3) were identified. After glucose infusion (13)C enrichment of glucose C(1alpha,1beta), glutamate C(1-4), glutamine C(1-4), aspartate C(2,3), N-acetyl-aspartate C(2,3), lactate C(3), alanine C(3), and HCO(-)(3) were observed. The observation of (13)C enrichment of resonances resonating at >150 ppm is an extension of previously published studies and will provide a more precise determination of metabolic rates and substrate decarboxylation in human brain.
