Abnormal enzyme activities and cellular redox state have
been observed in various medical conditions including
cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and lung
diseases. We employed hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate NMR to
investigate non-invasively how the enzyme kinetics (rate
constants) and cellular redox state may be modulated by
the levels of metabolites. Our results indicate a strong
coupling of the lactate dehydrogenase reaction with the
cellular redox state. Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate can be
a metabolic indicator of redox state for the study of
normal physiology and diseases.
