C MRS together with labeled substrate
infusion is a minimally invasive technique used to probe
the TCA cycle. Despite previous efforts, traditional
models fail to explain individual isotopomer (or more
precisely, bonded cumomers) dynamics. Using a rapid
model screening method, it becomes possible to use
previously untapped information given by bonded cumomers
to improve the bi-compartmental model. Such improvements
include adding a vesicular glutamate pool and a double
dilution of labeled plasmatic pyruvate.
