13C MRS spectrum after injecting polarized [1-13C] pyruvate into a rat brain. The associated in-vivo brain kinetics monitored for conversion of polarized Pyr to Lac are also shown. The 13C spectra were localized using a small surface coil placed adjacent to the brain on the rat’s head. The repetition time was 1 s with a nominal 10° excitation pulse.
