Study Notes

Metabolic Imaging and Analysis Techniques in Organ Metabolism

Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) enables in vivo measurement of brain glucose metabolism using injected labels such as [6,6ʹ-2H2]glucose or [2H3]acetate.
Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy allow for the measurement of glucose, glutamine, and lactate concentrations in various regions of the brain in small animal MRI studies.
Human MRI combined with mass spectrometry provides spatial information on tissue and metabolic intensity maps for detecting various metabolites in vivo.
Ex vivo organ perfusion systems, used in preclinical studies, allow for the controlled measurement of functions such as pressure, cardiac output, and metabolism in organs like the heart.
Metabolism can be analyzed using techniques such as isotopic tracers, mass spectrometry for metabolite analysis, and molecular tools for gene and protein analysis.
In vitro cellular respiration measurement is a valuable method for examining metabolic perturbations within cells, but it poorly mimics some in vivo conditions.
In vivo and in vitro cellular metabolism studies reveal differences in cellular organization and behavior when examining cardiac muscle cells.
Standard oxygraphy is a technique used to monitor oxygen consumption in cell suspensions, providing valuable information about cellular respiration.
Standard oxygraphy has limitations, including low throughput, the need for large cell numbers, and only being suitable for cells in suspension.
Invasive techniques, such as cannulating portal veins and hepatic veins, are used to measure blood flow and metabolic processes in organs like the liver, mainly in pre-clinical animal models.
Ex vivo organ perfusion studies provide advantages in controlled conditions for measuring organ functions but lack in vivo regulatory complexity.
Cellular metabolism studies, including cellular respiration measurement and in vitro experiments, provide valuable insights into metabolic processes but have limitations in mimicking in vivo conditions.
