          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.
