autosomal-dominant-polycystic-kidney-disease (ADPKD) and
chronic kidney disease (CKD) and increase knowledge of
pathological elements in these diseases.

Impact: HP 13C-MRI
may be an independent early biomarker for RCC treatment
response. Detection of differential metabolic changes before
morphological and function changes on MRI may help to tailor
treatments earlier, potentially saving lives and reducing
costs.

4663. The
Influence of Fasting and Anesthesia on Cerebral Metabolism of
Hyperpolarized Pyruvate
T. Lê, A. Capozzi, J-N Hyacinthe, M. Mishkovsky
EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
Impact: Fasting and anesthesia influence brain
metabolism and consciousness. Higher pyruvate-to-lactate
turnover is observed in mice under isoflurane-only than
medetomidine-isoflurane anesthesia. Besides the relevance
for preclinical studies, this opens opportunities for
probing brain biochemistry in anesthetized patients and
influence of fasting.
