Propionate is a short chain fatty-acid absorbed in the colon and metabolised in the liver with some evidence showing that consumption can increase energy homeostasis. Three healthy participants have been studied to date with 31P saturation transfer experiments performed pre and 180 minutes post consumption of an inorganic-propionate ester using 1D-slice-selective-ISIS. The exchange rate constant (k) was calculated to be higher than previous studies despite similar methodologies. Whilst at this time no conclusions can be drawn about the effect of consuming Inorganic Propionate Ester thus far, this study shows the applicability of using 31P saturation transfer in simpler intervention studies.
