[1-13C] alanine ethyl ester was studied as hyperpolarized substrate to measure the alanine metabolism in rat liver. The results show that [1-13C] alanine ethyl ester enters the cell converts to [1-13C] lactate more efficiently. Therefore, [1-13C] alanine ethyl ester is a potential compound to assess hepatic alanine metabolism with improved sensitivity.
