Preliminary results on mice demonstrate that it is
possible to simultaneously measure, in vivo, the glucose
and oxygen consumption in mitochondria by Dynamic
Deuterium MR, following administration of deuteriated
glucose. Novel biomarkers for the bio-energetic output
of cells in organs and tissues the Mitochondrial Index
and the Crossing Point of the consumption curves are
proposed; their association with the state of health of
a live organism and the transferability of the method to
the clinic is discussed.
