Quantitation of metabolite conversion through a multi-side kinetic model that involves all downstream metabolites present in MR spectroscopy after injection of [1-13C]pyruvate is presented. This method provides more kinetic data than previously existing methods and parameter interdependency allows a more accurate quantitation that can be useful for the monitoring of metabolic activity. The results are compared to kinetic modeling obtained with two-side integral and two-side differential models.
