Production of highly polarized [1-13 C]acetate by rapid decarboxylation of [2-13 C]pyruvate - application to hyperpolarized cardiac spectroscopy and imaging.

CONCLUSION: Decarboxylation of hyperpolarized [2-13 C]pyruvate enables the efficient production of highly polarized [1-13 C]acetate that is applicable to study short-chain fatty acid metabolism in the in vivo heart. PMID: 31045272 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
