Dynamic 31P NMR spectroscopy has longtime been used to probe the homeostatic performance of the integrated biochemical networks involved in cellular energy balance in a variety of human diseases including heart failure and diabetes. Recent advances in computational modeling of these biochemical networks now offer a tool to link these macroscopic 31P MRS observations to the rich knowledge base on the molecular components interacting in these networks. Here, we explore the potential of such kinetic model-based analysis of dynamic 31P MRS recordings of ATP metabolism in muscle to extract information on the activity of a key mitochondrial enzyme, Pyruvate Dehydrogenase.
