Abstract
Increasingly sophisticated instrumentation for chemical separations and identification has facilitated rapid advancements in our understanding of the metabolome. Since many analyses are performed using either mass spectroscopy (MS) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the spin ½ stable 13C isotope is now widely used as a metabolic tracer. There is strong interest in quantitative analysis of metabolic flux through pathways in vivo, particularly in human patients. Although instrumentation advances and scientific interests in metabolism are increasing in parallel, a practical and rational design of a 13C tracer study can be challenging. Prior to planning the details of a tracer experiment, is it important to consider whether the analytical results will be sensitive to flux through the pathways of interest. Here, we briefly summarize the various approaches that have been used to design carbon tracer experiments, outline the sources of complexity, and illustrate the use of a software tool, tcaSIM, to aid in the experimental design of both MS and NMR data in complex systems including patients.

Abstract
Despite species-specific differences in the pathways of respiratory metabolism are remarkably conserved across the kingdoms of life with glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and mitochondrial electron transport chain representing the major components of the process in the vast majority of organisms. In addition to being of critical importance in fueling life itself these pathways serve as interesting case studies for substrate channelling with research on this theme having been carried out for over 40 years. Here we provide a cross-kingdom review of the ample evidence for protein-protein interaction and enzyme assemblies within the three component pathways as well as describing the scarcer available evidence for substrate channelling itself.

Abstract
The present work is the first to deal with the determination of cholesterol synthesis rates in primary rat hepatocytes using transient (13)C-flux analysis. The effects of statins on cholesterol biosynthesis and central carbon fluxes were quantified at a therapeutic concentration of 50 nM atorvastatin using carbon-labeled glutamine. The flux through the cholesterol pathway decreased from 0.27 to 0.08 mmol/l(cv)h in response to the administration of the hypolipidemic drug. Isotopic steady state was reached within 4h in the central carbon metabolism but not in the cholesterol pathway, regardless of whether atorvastatin was administered or not. Marked channeling was observed for the symmetrical tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, succinate and fumarate. Non-stationary (13)C-based flux identification delivers both intracellular fluxes and intermediate levels, which was for the first time utilized for investigating systems-level effects of the administered drug by quantifying the flux control of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase.

Abstract
In vivo 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been applied to studying brain metabolic processes by measuring 13C label incorporation into cytosolic pools such as glutamate and aspartate. However, the rate of exchange between mitochondrial alpha-ketoglutarate/oxaloacetate and cytosolic glutamate/aspartate (Vx) extracted from metabolic modeling has been controversial. Because brain fumarase is exclusively located in the mitochondria, and mitochondrial fumarate is connected to cytosolic aspartate through a chain of fast exchange reactions, it is possible to directly measure Vx from the four-carbon side of the tricarboxylic acid cycle by magnetization transfer. In isoflurane-anesthetized adult rat brain, a relayed 13C magnetization transfer effect on cytosolic aspartate C2 at 53.2 ppm was detected after extensive signal averaging with fumarate C2 at 136.1 ppm irradiated using selective radiofrequency pulses. Quantitative analysis using Bloch-McConnell equations and a four-site exchange model found that Vx approximately 13-19 micromol per g per min (>>VTCA, the tricarboxylic acid cycle rate) when the longitudinal relaxation time of malate C2 was assumed to be within +/-33% of that of aspartate C2. If Vx approximately VTCA, the isotopic exchange between mitochondria and cytosol would be too slow on the time scale of 13C longitudinal relaxation to cause a detectable magnetization transfer effect.

Abstract
This contribution addresses the identification of metabolic fluxes and metabolite concentrations in mammalian cells from transient (13)C-labeling experiments. Whilst part I describes experimental set-up and acquisition of required metabolite and (13)C-labeling data, part II focuses on setting up network models and the estimation of intracellular fluxes. Metabolic fluxes were determined in glycolysis, pentose-phosphate pathway (PPP), and citric acid cycle (TCA) in a hepatoma cell line grown in aerobic batch cultures. In glycolytic and PPP metabolite pools isotopic stationarity was observed within 30 min, whereas in the TCA cycle the labeling redistribution did not reach isotopic steady state even within 180 min. In silico labeling dynamics were in accordance with in vivo (13)C-labeling data. Split ratio between glycolysis and PPP was 57%:43%; intracellular glucose concentration was estimated at 101.6 nmol per 10(6) cells. In contrast to isotopic stationary (13)C-flux analysis, transient (13)C-flux analysis can also be applied to industrially relevant mammalian cell fed-batch and batch cultures.

Abstract
Fluxome analysis aims at the quantitative analysis of in vivo carbon fluxes in metabolic networks, i. e. intracellular activities of enzymes and pathways. It allows investigating the effects of genetic or environmental modifications and thus precisely provides a global perspective on the integrated genetic and metabolic regulation within the intact metabolic network. The experimental and computational approaches developed in this area have revealed fascinating insights into metabolic properties of various biological systems. Most of the comprehensive approaches for metabolic flux studies today involve isotopic tracer studies and GC-MS for measurement of the labeling pattern of metabolites. Initially developed and applied mainly in the field of biomedicine these GC-MS based metabolic flux approaches have been substantially extended and optimized during recent years and today display a key technology in metabolic physiology and biotechnology.

Abstract
The metabolism of D-glucose displays anomeric specificity in rat pancreatic islets. The aim of the present report is to investigate whether such a situation implies enzyme-to-enzyme tunnelling of metabolites in the early steps of glycolysis. For such a purpose, the modelling of alpha- and beta-D-glucose catabolism, itself based on available information concerning both the utilisation of these two anomers and the intrinsic properties of phosphoglucoisomerase, was first examined. According to a theoretical model with enzyme-to-enzyme channelling, the generation of 3HOH from D-[2-3H]glucose should be higher in islets exposed to beta-D-glucose rather than alpha-D-glucose, whilst the opposite situation should prevail in the case of D-[5-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH. Experimental data collected in rat islets incubated for 60 min at 4 degrees C in the presence of either alpha- or beta-D-glucose mixed with tracer amounts of either alpha- or beta-D-[2- 3H]glucose and alpha- or beta-D-[5-3H]glucose indicate that the beta/alpha ratio for D-[2-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH is indeed higher than the beta/alpha ratio for D-[5-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH. These findings are consistent with the postulated enzyme-to-enzyme tunnelling of glycolytic intermediates between hexokinase isoenzyme(s), phosphoglucoisomerase and, possibly, phosphofructokinase.

Abstract
Liver-specific phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) null mice, when fasted, maintain normal whole body glucose kinetics but develop dramatic hepatic steatosis. To identify the abnormalities of hepatic energy generation that lead to steatosis during fasting, we studied metabolic fluxes in livers lacking hepatic cytosolic PEPCK by NMR using 2H and 13C tracers. After a 4-h fast, glucose production from glycogenolysis and conversion of glycerol to glucose remains normal, whereas gluconeogenesis from tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates was nearly absent. Upon an extended 24-h fast, livers that lack PEPCK exhibit both 2-fold lower glucose production and oxygen consumption, compared with the controls, with all glucose production being derived only from glycerol. The mitochondrial reduction-oxidation (red-ox) state, as indicated by the NADH/NAD+ ratio, is 5-fold higher, and hepatic TCA cycle intermediate concentrations are dramatically increased in the PEPCK null livers. Consistent with this, flux through the TCA cycle and pyruvate cycling pathways is 10- and 40-fold lower, respectively. Disruption of hepatic cataplerosis due to loss of PEPCK leads to the accumulation of TCA cycle intermediates and a nearly complete blockage of gluconeogenesis from amino acids and lactate (an energy demanding process) but intact gluconeogenesis from glycerol (which contributes to net NADH production). Inhibition of the TCA cycle and fatty acid oxidation due to increased TCA cycle intermediate concentrations and reduced mitochondrial red-ox state lead to the development of steatosis.

Abstract
The enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of metabolic intermediates is not an uncommon process. The present review draws attention to recent experimental work documenting, in rat pancreatic islets, the enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate between hexokinase isoenzyme(s), mainly glucokinase, and phosphoglucoisomerase. Likewise, the possible enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate between phosphoglucoisomerase and phosphofructokinase is briefly evoked. These considerations are relevant to the anomeric specificity of D-glucose metabolism, even in islets exposed to equilibrated D-glucose, to the perturbation of such an anomeric specificity in the phenomenon of so-called B-cell glucotoxicity, and to the correct interpretation of 3HOH generation from D-[2-(3H)]glucose.

Abstract
When liver cells from either normal or hereditarily diabetic rats are exposed to (13)C-enriched D-fructose (10 mM) and unlabelled D-glucose (also 10 mM) in the presence of D(2)O, the output of (13)C-enriched D-glucose generated from D-[1-(13)C]fructose is significantly lower than that from D-[2-(13)C]fructose. This coincides with a higher generation of (13)C-enriched L-lactate and L-alanine from D-[1-(13)C]fructose, as compared to D-[2-(13)C]fructose. In absolute terms, the mean paired difference in the output of (13)C-enriched D-glucose generated from D-[1-(13)C]fructose versus D-[2-(13)C]fructose is not significantly different from the mean paired difference in the production of (13)C-enriched L-lactate and L-alanine from the same precursors, with an overall mean value of 7.01 +/- 1.59 micromol (n = 8; P < 0.005). It is proposed that these findings indicate isotopic discrimination at the phosphoglucoisomerase level between (12)C and (13)C for the carbon atom in position 1 (as compared to that in position 2) of D-fructose 6-phosphate.

Abstract
Detailed knowledge on carbon flux distributions is crucial for the understanding and targeted optimization of cellular systems. Analytical methods to identify the topology of metabolic networks and to quantify fluxes through its different pathways are therefore in the core of metabolic engineering. An elegant approach for metabolic flux analysis is provided by tracer experiments. In such studies tracer substrates with stable isotopes such as 13C are applied and the labeling pattern of metabolites is subsequently measured. Detailed flux distributions can be obtained by a combination of tracer experiments and stoichiometric balancing. In recent years, mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an interesting method for labeling measurements in metabolic flux analysis and provided valuable insights into the cellular metabolism. The present review provides an overview on current experimental and modeling tools for metabolic flux analysis by MS. The application of MS for flux analysis is illustrated by examples from the literature for various biological systems, including bacteria, fungi, tissue cultures and in vivo studies in humans.

Abstract
Aerobic and anaerobic central metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was explored in batch cultures on a minimal medium containing glucose as the sole carbon source, using biosynthetic fractional (13)C labeling of proteinogenic amino acids. This allowed, firstly, unravelling of the network of active central pathways in cytosol and mitochondria, secondly, determination of flux ratios characterizing glycolysis, pentose phosphate cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle and C1-metabolism, and thirdly, assessment of intercompartmental transport fluxes of pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, oxaloacetate and glycine. The data also revealed that alanine aminotransferase is located in the mitochondria, and that amino acids are synthesized according to documented pathways. In both the aerobic and the anaerobic regime: (a) the mitochondrial glycine cleavage pathway is active, and efflux of glycine into the cytosol is observed; (b) the pentose phosphate pathways serve for biosynthesis only, i.e. phosphoenolpyruvate is entirely generated via glycolysis; (c) the majority of the cytosolic oxaloacetate is synthesized via anaplerotic carboxylation of pyruvate; (d) the malic enzyme plays a key role for mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism; (e) the transfer of oxaloacetate from the cytosol to the mitochondria is largely unidirectional, and the activity of the malate-aspartate shuttle and the succinate-fumarate carrier is low; (e) a large fraction of the mitochondrial pyruvate is imported from the cytosol; and (f) the glyoxylate cycle is inactive. In the aerobic regime, 75% of mitochondrial oxaloacetate arises from anaplerotic carboxylation of pyruvate, while in the anaerobic regime, the tricarboxylic acid cycle is operating in a branched fashion to fulfill biosynthetic demands only. The present study shows that fractional (13)C labeling of amino acids represents a powerful approach to study compartmented eukaryotic systems.

Abstract
Acquisition weighted (13)C-spectroscopic imaging with three spatial dimensions is demonstrated in the isolated, perfused rat heart. Experiments were performed at 11.75 T with a home-built double resonant (13)C-(1)H probehead. Three-dimensional chemical shift imaging was used to obtain (1)H-decoupled (13)C-spectra in 96-microl voxels in about 58 min. Acquisition weighting significantly reduced signal contamination and improved image quality, with no penalty in sensitivity. As a first application, infarcted hearts were studied during perfusion with [2-(13)C]-sodium acetate. The extent of the incorporation of the (13)C-label into glutamate allows us to distinguish intact and infarcted myocardium. Chemical shift images show a homogeneous glutamate distribution in intact tissue, but a negligible amount in the infarction scar.

Abstract
One of the accepted characterizations of the living state is that it is complex to an extraordinary degree. Since our current understanding of the living condition is minimal and fragmentary, it is not surprising that our first descriptions are simplistic. However, in certain areas of metabolism, especially those that have been amenable to experimentation for the longest period of time, the simplistic explanations have been the most difficult to revise. For example, current texts of general biochemistry still view metabolism as occurring by a series of independent enzymes dispersed in a uniform aqueous environment. This notion has been shown to be deeply flawed by both experimental and theoretical considerations. Thus, there is ample evidence that, in many metabolic pathways, specific interactions between sequential enzymes occur as static and/or dynamic complexes. In addition, reversible interactions of enzymes with structural proteins and membranes is a common occurrence. The interactions of enzymes give rise to a higher level of complexity that must be accounted for when one wishes to understand the regulation of metabolism. One of the phenomena that occurs because of sequential enzyme interactions is the process of channeling. This article discusses enzyme interactions and channeling and summarizes experimental and theoretical results from a few well-studied examples.

Abstract
Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) is considered to play an important role in oxidative cell damage. We assumed that ischemia-reperfusion resulting from the increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to the activation of endogenous mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation reactions and that the reduction of ROS level by lipoamide, a less known antioxidant, can reverse these unfavorable processes. Experiments were performed on isolated Langendorff hearts subjected to 60-min ischemia followed by reperfusion. ROS, malondialdehyde, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) breaks, and NAD+ content were assayed in the hearts, and the ADP-ribosylation of cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins were determined by Western blot assay. Ischemia-reperfusion caused a moderate (30.2 +/- 8%) increase in ROS production determined by the dihydrorhodamine 123 method and significantly increased the malondialdehyde production (from < 1 to 23 +/- 2.7 nmol/ml), DNA damage (undamaged DNA decreased from 71 +/- 7% to 23.1 +/- 5%), and NAD+ catabolism. In addition, ischemia-reperfusion activated the mono-ADP-ribosylation of GRP78 and the self-ADP-ribosylation of the nuclear PARP. The perfusion of hearts with lipoamide significantly decreased the ischemia-reperfusion-induced cell membrane damage determined by enzyme release (LDH, CK, and GOT), decreased the ROS production, reduced the malondialdehyde production to 5.5 +/- 2.4 nmol/ml, abolished DNA damage, and reduced NAD+ catabolism. The ischemia-reperfusion-induced activation of poly- and mono-ADP-ribosylation reactions were also reverted by lipoamide. In isolated rat heart mitochondria, dihydrolipoamide was found to be a better antioxidant than dihydrolipoic acid. Ischemia-reperfusion by ROS overproduction and increasing DNA breaks activates PARP leading to accelerated NAD+ catabolism, impaired energy metabolism, and cell damage. Lipoamide by reducing ROS levels halts PARP activation and membrane damage and improves the recovery of postischemic myocardium.

Abstract
Measurement of local myocardial O(2) consumption (VO(2)) has been problematic but is needed to investigate the heterogeneity of aerobic metabolism. The goal of the present investigation was to develop a method to measure local VO(2) using small frozen myocardial samples, suitable for determining VO(2) profiles. In 26 isolated rabbit hearts, 1.5 mmol/l [2-(13)C]acetate was infused for 4 min, followed by 1.5 min of [1,2-(13)C]acetate. The left ventricular (LV) free wall was then quickly frozen. High-resolution (13)C-NMR spectra were measured from extracts taken from 2- to 3-mm thick transmural layer samples. The multiplet intensities of glutamate were analyzed with a computer model allowing simultaneous estimation of the absolute flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the fractional contribution of acetate to acetyl CoA formation from which local VO(2) was calculated. The (13)C-derived VO(2) in the LV free wall was linearly related to "gold standard" VO(2) from coronary venous O(2) electrode measurements in the same region (r = 0.932, n = 22, P < 0.0001, slope 1.05) for control and lowered metabolic rates. The ratio of subendocardial to subepicardial VO(2) was 1.52 +/- 0.19 (SE, significantly >1, P < 0.025). Local myocardial VO(2) can now be quantitated with this new (13)C method to determine profiles of aerobic energy metabolism.

Abstract
The generation of 13C-labeled D-glucose isotopomers by rat hepatocytes incubated for 30 or 120 min in the presence of 10 mM [3-(13)C]pyruvate was assessed by 13C NMR. The amount of C1-labeled D-glucose exceeded that of C2-labeled hexose, which was itself higher than that of C3-labeled D-glucose. A comparable hierarchy was observed in the C6-C5-C4 moiety of the hexose. The latter moiety of D-glucose was more efficiently labeled, however, than the C3-C2-C1 moiety. This finding is similar to that both previously reported and again observed in the present study when hepatocytes were exposed to [2(-13)C]pyruvate. These converging observations thus support the concept of enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate between glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phospho-fructoaldolase.

Abstract
Simple equations that relate glucose and glutamate 13C-NMR multiplet areas to gluconeogenesis and pyruvate recycling during metabolism of [1,2,3-(13)C3]propionate are presented. In isolated rat livers, gluconeogenic flux was 1.2 times TCA cycle flux and about 40% of the oxaloacetate pool underwent recycling to pyruvate prior to formation of glucose. The 13C spectra of glucose collected from rats after gastric versus intravenous administration of [1,2,3-(13)C3]propionate indicated that pyruvate recycling was slightly higher in vivo (49%) while glucose production was unchanged. This indicates that a direct measure of gluconeogenesis and pyruvate recycling may be obtained from a single 13C-NMR spectrum of blood collected after oral administration of enriched propionate.

Abstract
Measurements of oxidative metabolism in the heart from dynamic 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy rely on 13C turnover in the NMR-detectable glutamate pool. A kinetic model was developed for the analysis of isotope turnover to determine tricarboxylic acid cycle flux (VTCA) and the interconversion rate between alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate (F1) by fitting the model to NMR data of glutamate enrichment. The results of data fitting are highly reproducible when the noise level is within 10%, making this model applicable to single or grouped experiments. The values for VTCA and F1 were unchanged whether obtained from least-squares fitting of the model to mean experimental enrichment data with standard deviations in the cost function (VTCA = 10.52 mumol.min-1.g dry wt-1, F1 = 10.67 mumol.min-1.g dry wt-1) or to the individual enrichment values for each heart with the NMR noise level in the cost function (VTCA = 10.67 mumol.min-1.g dry wt-1, F1 = 10.18 mumol.min-1.g dry wt-1). Computer simulation and theoretical analysis indicate that glutamate enrichment kinetics are insensitive to the fractional enrichment of acetyl-CoA and changes in small intermediate pools (< 1 mumol/g dry wt). Therefore, high-resolution NMR analysis of tissue extracts and biochemical assays for intermediates at low concentrations are unnecessary. However, a high correlation between VTCA and F1 exists, as anticipated from competition for alpha-ketoglutarate, which indicates the utility of introducing independent experimental constraints into the data fitting for accurate quantification.

Abstract
These examples serve to illustrate that it is now possible to investigate metabolism in intact tissues using a variety of biophysical methods. While we have concentrated on NMR methods, reflecting our own interests in using 13C as a metabolic tracer, GC-mass spectroscopy can often provide similar metabolic information and has the advantage of increased sensitivity over NMR. Combining either or both of these technologies with cleaver 'chemical biopsy' methods offers new opportunities to examine what may seem to be old metabolic questions in a much more relevant environment, the native state.

Abstract
The generation of 13C-labelled lactate by colon carcinoma cells of the Caco-2 line incubated for 120 min in the presence of [2-13C]propionate (10 mM) was assessed by 13C NMR. About 10% of the total amount of 13C-labelled lactate was recovered in the cell pellet and displayed a [2-13C]lactate/[3-13C]lactate isotopomer ratio of 1.18 +/- 0.01. An even higher isotopomer ratio of 1.53 +/- 0.14 was observed in the case of 13C-labelled lactate released by the cells into the incubation medium. These findings indicate that, in the Caco-2 cells, metabolic intermediates of the Krebs cycle undergo enzyme-to-enzyme channelling in the sequence of reactions catalysed by succinyl-CoA synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase and fumarase.

Abstract
A mathematical model of the citric acid cycle devoted to the analysis of 13C-NMR data was developed for determining the relative flux of molecules through the anaplerotic versus oxidative pathways and the relative pyruvate carboxylase versus pyruvate dehydrogenase activities. Different variants of the model were considered depending on the reversibility of the conversion of fumarate into malate and oxaloacetate. The model also included the possibility of orientation-conserved transfer of the four-carbon citric acid cycle intermediates, leading to conversion of succinyl-CoA C1 into either malate C1 or C4. It was used to analyse NMR data from glutamine isotopomers produced by cerebellar astrocytes incubated with [1-13C]glucose. Partial cycling (39%) between oxaloacetate and fumarate was evident from the analysis. Application of the model to glutamate isotopomers from granule cells incubated with [1-13C]glucose [Martin, M.. Portais, J.C.. Labouesse. J., Canioni. P, & Merle, M. (1993) Eur. J. Biochem. 217, 617-625] indicated that total cycling of oxaloacetate into fumarate was, in this case, required to get the best fit. The results emphasized some important differences in carbon metabolism between cerebellar astrocytes and granule cells concerning the sources of carbon fuelling the citric acid cycle and the carbon fluxes on different pathways.

Abstract
Tumoural islet cells of the RINm5F line were incubated for 120 min in the presence of [2-13C]propionate (10 mmol/l), and the 13C enrichment of lactate released in the incubation medium was monitored by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The C3/C2 ratio of resonance areas was much lower than that found with naturally 13C-enriched lactate. This reveals that symmetric Krebs cycle intermediates undergo oriented transfer in the sequence of reactions catalysed by succinate thiokinase, succinate dehydrogenate and fumarase in the mitochondria of islet cells.

Abstract
The oxidation of [3-13C]pyruvate and [3-13C]propionate was studied in vivo in infused rats. The infused [3-13C]pyruvate was quickly converted to [3-13C]lactate in the blood, and the [3-13C]lactate formed was well metabolized in both normoxic and ischaemic hearts. Large differences (200-600%) in the 13C enrichment of alanine (C-3) and acetyl-CoA (C-2) compared with lactate (C-3) were found in both normoxic and ischaemic hearts, suggesting that the extracellular [3-13C]lactate preferentially entered a region of the cytoplasm which specifically transfers the labelled pyruvate (formed from [3-13C]lactate) to the mitochondria. The highly enriched mitochondrial pyruvate gave high enrichment in alanine and acetyl-CoA, which was detected by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Ischaemia increased 13C incorporation into the main cytoplasmic lactate pool and decreased 13C incorporation into citric acid cycle intermediates, mainly decreasing the pyruvate anaplerosis. Isoprenaline-induced ischaemia of the heart caused only a slight decrease in pyruvate oxidation. In contrast to the decreased anaplerosis of pyruvate, the anaplerosis of propionate (and propionyl-carnitine) increased significantly in ischaemic hearts, which may contribute to the protective effect of propionyl-carnitine seen in ischaemia. In addition, we found that [3-13C]propionate preferentially labelled aspartate C-3 in rat heart, suggesting incomplete randomization of label in the succinyl-CoA-malate span of the citric acid cycle. These data show that proton observed 13C edited spectroscopic methods, i.e. heteronuclear spin-echo and the one-dimensional heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence sequence, can be successfully used to study heart metabolism in vivo.

Abstract
Control of oxidative metabolism was studied using 13C NMR spectroscopy to detect rate-limiting steps in 13C labeling of glutamate. 13C NMR spectra were acquired every 1 or 2 min from isolated rabbit hearts perfused with either 2.5 mM [2-13C]acetate or 2.5 mM [2-13C]butyrate with or without KCl arrest. Tricarboxylic acid cycle flux (VTCA) and the exchange rate between alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate (F1) were determined by least-square fitting of a kinetic model to NMR data. Rates were compared to measured kinetics of the cardiac glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT). Despite similar oxygen use, hearts oxidizing butyrate instead of acetate showed delayed incorporation of 13C label into glutamate and lower VTCA, because of the influence of beta-oxidation: butyrate = 7.1 +/- 0.2 mumol/min/g dry wt; acetate = 10.1 +/- 0.2; butyrate + KCl = 1.8 +/- 0.1; acetate + KCl = 3.1 +/- 0.1 (mean +/- SD). F1 ranged from a low of 4.4 +/- 1.0 mumol/min/g (butyrate + KCl) to 9.3 +/- 0.6 (acetate), at least 20-fold slower than GOT flux, and proved to be rate limiting for isotope turnover in the glutamate pool. Therefore, dynamic 13C NMR observations were sensitive not only to TCA cycle flux but also to the interconversion between TCA cycle intermediates and glutamate.

Abstract
A study of substrate selection in the isolated heart was made using 13C NMR isotopomer analysis, a method that unequivocally identifies relative substrate utilization. This technique has several advantages over conventional approaches used to study this problem. It detects the labeling of metabolic end-products present in tissue, as opposed to more indirect methods such as measurement of respiratory quotient, arteriovenous differences, or specific activity changes in the added substrate. It also has advantages over methods such as 14CO2 release, which may involve dilution of label with unlabeled pools before CO2 release. Furthermore, it can measure the relative oxidation of up to four substrates in a single experiment, which other labeling techniques cannot conveniently achieve. Substrate selection was considered in light of its effects on myocardial efficiency and recovery from ischemia. A mixture of four substrates (acetoacetate, glucose, lactate, and a mixture of long chain fatty acids), present at physiological concentration (0.17, 5.5, 1.2, and 0.35 mM, respectively), was examined. This is the first use of such a mixture in the study of substrate selection in an isolated organ preparation. At these concentrations, it was found that fatty acids supplied the majority of the acetyl-CoA (49%), and a substantial contribution was also provided by acetoacetate (23%). This suggests that the ketone bodies are a more important substrate than generally considered. Indeed, normalizing the relative utilizations on the basis of acetyl-CoA equivalents, ketone bodies were by far the preferred substrate. The relative lactate oxidation was only 15%, and glucose oxidation could not be detected. No change in utilization was detected after 15 min of ischemia followed by 40 min of reperfusion. The change in substrate selection with afterload was examined, to mimic the stress-related changes in workload found with ischemia. Only minor changes were found. Substrate selection from the same group of substrates, but employing concentrations observed during starvation, was also assessed. This represents the state during which most clinical treatments and evaluations are performed. In this case, acetoacetate was the most used substrate (78%), with small and equal contributions from fatty acids and endogenous substrates; the oxidation of lactate was suppressed.
