We performed in vivo experiments to assess the oxidative pathway contribution in the type 2 diabete mellitus (T2DM) model using hyperpolarized [1-13C]lactate and [2-13C]pyruvate. The metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-13C]lactate in the muscle was different in T2DM as compared to control rats, in particular with respect to PDH activity. The restoration of PDH activity with dichloroacetate in the T2DM rat suggests a non-negligible contribution of oxidative metabolism impairment in diabetes and a potential role for PDH activation to restore glucose homeostasis. [2-13C]pyruvate experiment suggests that ketogenesis is more active rather than the oxidative phosphorylation in diabetic muscle metabolism after dichloroacetate infusion.
