Fig. 5From: Detection of increased pyruvate dehydrogenase flux in the human heart during adenosine stress test using hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate cardiovascular magnetic resonance imagingConversion rate constants. A–C The mean kPL, kPB and kPA at rest and during stress. The mean kPL increased statistically significantly from 11 ± 9 *10–3 s−1 to 20 ± 10 *10–3 s−1, p = 0.04. The mean kPB increased statistically significantly from 4 ± 4 *10–3 s−1 to 12 ± 7 *10–3 s−1, p = 0.008. The kPA increased from 5 ± 3 *10–3 s−1 to 16 ± 9 *10–3 s−1, p = 0.06Back to article page
