Full Description
This volume constitutes a compilation of the latest experiments and theories on a rapidly evolving and maturing field in MRI/MRS, which is the use of the stable isotope 13-C. The 13-C is used to probe the chemistry, mechanism, and function in living systems.
All the chapters are written by experts in the field who discuss topics such as `Tracer Theory and the Suitability of 13-C NMR', `Applications of 13-C to Studies of Human Brain Metabolism', etc.
Contents
Tracer Theory and 13C NMR.- 13C Isotopomer Analysis of Glutamate A NMR Method to Probe Metabolic Pathways Intersecting in the Citric Acid Cycle.- Determination of Metabolic Fluxes by Mathematical Analysis of 13C-Labeling Kinetics.- Metabolic Flux and Subcellular Transport of Metabolites.- Assessing Cardiac Metabolic Rates during Pathologic Conditions with Dynamic 13C NMR Spectra.- Applications of 13C Labeling to Studies of Human Brain Metabolism In Vivo.- In vivo 13C NMR Spectroscopy.
