Synopsis
The study aimed to explore the behavior of skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine and phosphocreatine during submaximal plantar flexion exercise using interleaved 1H/31P MRS at 7T. Acetylcarnitine decreased to steady state during the exercise, increased back to initial levels in early recovery period and started to decline during later phase of recovery. Studies including more volunteers and patients with broader range of metabolic conditions and physical fitness will be necessary for detailed quantitative analysis.
