A kinetic model of the citric acid cycle for
calculating oxygen consumption from
13C nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) multiplet data has been developed. Measured oxygen consumption
(M
O2) was
compared with M
O2 predicted by the model with 13C NMR data
obtained from rat hearts perfused with glucose and either
[2-13C]acetate or
[3-13C]pyruvate. The
accuracy of M
O2 measured
from three subsets of NMR data was compared: glutamate C-4 and C-3
resonance areas; the doublet C4D34 (expressed as a fraction of C-4
area); and C-4 and C-3 areas plus several multiplets of C-2, C-3, and
C-4. M
O2 determined by
set 2 (C4D34 only) gave the same degree of accuracy as
set 3 (complete data); both were superior to
set 1 (C-4 and C-3 areas). Analysis of the latter suffers from the
correlation between citric acid cycle flux and exchange between
-ketoglutarate and glutamate, resulting in greater error in
estimating M
O2. Analysis of
C4D34 is less influenced by correlation between parameters, and this
single measurement provides the best opportunity for a noninvasive
measurement of oxygen consumption.
