Metabolic modeling of metabolite ¹³C turnover curves in brain with ¹³C-labeled acetate infused as tracer substrate requires prior knowledge of the transport and uptake kinetics of Ace. The aim of this study was to determine the kinetics of transport and utilization for acetate uptake in the rat brain using specific distribution volume of Ace(V_d) in the rat brain. The dependency of estimated CMR_ace to distribution volume of Ace in the rat brain highlights the importance about a refined determination of V_d for Ace in brain metabolic studies.
