Abstract
(13)C-edited proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to follow enrichment of glutamate C3 and C4 with a temporal resolution of approximately 20 s in mouse hearts perfused with (13)C-enriched substrates. A fit of the NMR data to a kinetic model of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and related exchange reactions yielded TCA cycle (V(tca)) and exchange (V(x)) fluxes between alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate. These fluxes were substrate-dependent and decreased in the order acetate (V(tca)=14.1 micromol g(-1) min(-1); V(x)=26.5 micromol g(-1) min(-1))>octanoate (V(tca)=6.0 micromol g(-1) min(-1); V(x)=16.1 micromol g(-1) min(-1))>lactate (V(tca)=4.2 micromol g(-1) min(-1); V(x)=6.3 micromol g(-1) min(-1)).Entities:
