Abstract

Akinetic model of the citric acid cycle for calculating oxygen consumption from 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) multiplet data has been developed. Measured oxygen consumption (MV̇O2) was compared with MV̇O2 predicted by the model with 13C NMR data obtained from rat hearts perfused with glucose and either [2-13C]acetate or [3-13C]pyruvate. The accuracy of MV̇O2 measured from three subsets of NMR data was compared: glutamate C-4 and C-3 resonance areas; the doublet C4D34 (expressed as a fraction of C-4 area); and C-4 and C-3 areas plus several multiplets of C-2, C-3, and C-4. MV̇O2 determined by set 2 (C4D34 only) gave the same degree of accuracy as set 3 (complete data); both were superior to set 1 (C-4 and C- 3 areas). Analysis of the latter suffers from the correlation between citric acid cycle flux and exchange between α-ketoglutarate and glutamate, resulting in greater error in estimating MV̇O2. Analysis of C4D34 is less influenced by correlation between parameters, and this single measurement provides the best opportunity for a noninvasive measurement of oxygen consumption.
