Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Bicarbonate:lactate ratio | 1. The ratio of hyperpolarized [13C]bicarbonate relative to hyperpolarized [1-13C]lactate. This measurement will be monitored from the subject's liver over a ~4 minute period in the MRI system. | One visit of 6 hours; two injections of HP pyruvate with MRI over 3 hours | |
Secondary | Labeled glycerol fraction | 2. The fraction of [U-13C]glycerol that has passed through mitochondrial pathways prior to gluconeogenesis and the fraction of glucose, derived from [U-13C]glycerol, that has passed through the pentose phosphate pathway. This information will be acquired from 13C NMR spectroscopy of glucose and triglycerides from a venous blood sample, obtained after the hyperpolarization exam. | One visit of 6 hours; ingestion of Oral Glycerol with blood draws over 3 hours |
