Anesthesia has profound effects on overall metabolism, leading to significant signal changes in metabolic MR brain experiments using hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate. In the current study, we studied the possible origins of the signals from rat liver and heart under isoflurane anesthesia and while the animals were awake. Increased metabolite signals, especially lactate, were observed from both organs in awake animals.
