Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

English C-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy is becoming an important tool for the investigation of metabolic processes either in vitro or in vivo. In this review we discuss some methodological aspects of C-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy and recent applications of this technique to the study of beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver and intermediary metabolism in the brain. Finally, two promising applications in the field of clinical investigation are discussed.
