Glucose oxidation may be unable to compensate sufficiently to maintain myocardial energy homeostasis in patients affected by fatty acid β-oxidation disorders. The flux through the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex was studied using hyperpolarized 13C-MRS of [1-13C]pyruvate in the in vivo heart of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase knock-out (LCAD KO) mice and controls in fed and fasted conditions.
