Similar to pyruvate, neat [
13
C]lactic acid
appears to be the best form of lactate for dissolution
DNP. Unfortunately the neat acid is prone to form a
lactide dimer which overlaps spectrally onto product
alanine. We investigated the use of a spectrally
selective pre-saturation pulse sequence to eliminate
dimer signal prior to hyperpolarized metabolic
experiments in vivo.
