Abstract

Background: Free cytosolic [NAD+]/[NADH] ratio maintains cellular redox homeostasis and is a cellular metabolic readout. Results: Pyruvate/lactate ratios show distinct metabolic phenotypes and are used to derive free cytosolic [NAD+]/[NADH] ratios. Conclusion: Determination of free cytosolic [NAD+]/[NADH] ratios using hyperpolarized glucose is applicable to a wide selection of cell types. Significance: This metabolic phenotyping may be a crucial tool to understand pathologies, and to diagnose and measure effects of therapies.
