MRSI of hyperpolarized (HP) 13 C-labeled compounds is a powerful new approach for localized non-invasive studies of tissue metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to characterize tissue-specific alterations in the metabolism of HP gluconeogenic precursors 13 C-lactate and 13 C-pyruvate by rat liver and kidneys in response to fasting. Seven rats were studied by 13C MRSI of both HP 13 C-lactate and 13 C-pyruvate in both normal fed and 24h fasting states. Significant metabolic modulations associated with fasting were identified in the localized metabolite data resulting from these spectroscopic imaging experiments.
