Description:
Natural abundance carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonances (NMR) from human arm and rat tissues have been observed in vivo. These signals arise primarily from triglycerides in fatty tissue. Carbon-13 NMR was also used to follow, in a living rat, the conversion of C-1-labeled glucose, which was introduced into the stomach, to C-1-labeled liver glycogen. The carbon-13 sensitivity and resolution obtained shows that natural abundance carbon-13 NMR will be valuable in the study of disorders in fat metabolism, and that experiments with substrates labeled with carbon-13 can be used to study carbohydrate metabolism in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Alger, J R -- Sillerud, L O -- Behar, K L -- Gillies, R J -- Shulman, R G -- Gordon, R E -- Shae, D -- Hanley, P E -- AM27121/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Nov 6;214(4521):660-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7292005" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
