Among the various metabolites involved in the glucose metabolism of the tumor, pyruvate and lactate are the highlighted metabolites in the up-regulated glucose metabolism of malignant neoplasm. The purpose of this study is to determine the enzymatic conversion of [1-13C]pyruvate to [1-13C]lactate with exclusion of magnetization transfer effect from the hyperpolarized 13C. Enzymatic conversion ratio of [1-13C]lactate/pyruvate in glioma and normal brain were evaluated ex-vivo by using 11.7T NMR. DCE-MRI elucidated the vascular permeability characteristics of highly metabolic glioma. In-vitro cellular LDH assay of C6 glioma cells proved enzyme activity. The conversion ratio and quantitative DEC-MRI parameter Kep were correlated.
