(a) Simplified scheme of the cerebral metabolism of HP [1-13C] lactate. (b) Dynamic 13C MRS spectra measured in the head of an MCAO mouse following the injection of HP [1-13C] lactate (183.5 ppm). The transfer of the label to [1-13C] pyruvate at 171.5 ppm can be readily detected. In the sum of the spectra shown in the top panel (red), the peak of 13C bicarbonate becomes visible at 161.5 ppm. The peak designated by (*) at 176 ppm results from chemical impurities that overlap with the expected [1-13C] alanine peak.
