Cover Feature: ParaHydrogen Polarized Ethyl‐[1‐13C]pyruvate in Water, a Key Substrate for Fostering the PHIP‐SAH Approach to Metabolic Imaging (11/2021). Issue 11 (8th June 2021) - Carrera, Carla
Abstract : The Front Cover illustrates the transformation of hyperpolarized ethyl‐[1‐ 13 C]pyruvate, obtained by means of parahydrogenation of the vinyl ester of [1‐ 13 C]pyruvate in aqueous solution, into hyperpolarized [1‐ 13 C]pyruvate. This metabolic conversion has been monitored by acquiring a series of 13 C‐NMR spectra, using small flip angle pulses.
