BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has gained growing interest as a potential target for treatment of obesity. Currently, the most widely used technique/method for in vivo measurements of BAT activity in humans is 18FDG PET/CT. To supplement these investigations novel radiation-free methods are warranted. Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is a novel modality that combines magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) imaging with deuterium-labelled glucose (2H-glucose). This allows for spatio-temporal and metabolic imaging beyond glucose uptake. We aimed to evaluate if DMI could discriminate glucose metabolism in BAT of cold-acclimatised and thermoneutral rats. SUBJECTS/METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were housed in a cold environment (9 °C, n = 10) or at thermoneutrality (30 °C, n = 11) for 1 week. For imaging rats were anaesthetized, received a 2H-glucose (1 M, 1.95 g/kg) bolus and DMI was acquired at baseline followed by 20 min time intervals up to 2 h. Furthermore, Dixon MRI was performed for anatomical determination of the interscapular BAT (iBAT) depot along with dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI to evaluate perfusion. RESULTS 2H-glucose signal was higher in cold-acclimatised rats compared with thermoneutral rats (p ≤ 0.001) indicating an overall increase in glucose uptake and metabolism. This was in line with a lower fat/water threshold, higher perfusion and increased UCP1 mRNA expression in iBAT (ninefold increment) of cold-acclimatised rats compared with thermoneutral rats. CONCLUSIONS We find that DMI can discriminate cold-acclimatised and thermoneutral BAT in rats. This is the first study to evaluate BAT activity by DMI, which may open up for the use of the non-radioactive DMI method for BAT measurements in humans.

通过大鼠氘代谢成像测定棕色脂肪组织中的葡萄糖代谢。

背景/目的 棕色脂肪组织 (BAT) 作为治疗肥胖症的潜在目标越来越受到关注。目前,用于人体 BAT 活性的体内测量的最广泛使用的技术/方法是 18FDG PET/CT。为了补充这些研究,需要采用新的无辐射方法。氘代谢成像 (DMI) 是一种将磁共振光谱 (MRS) 成像与氘标记的葡萄糖 (2H-葡萄糖) 相结合的新型方式。这允许超越葡萄糖摄取的时空和代谢成像。我们旨在评估 DMI 是否可以区分冷驯化和热中性大鼠 BAT 中的葡萄糖代谢。对象/方法将雄性 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠饲养在寒冷环境 (9 °C, n = 10) 或热中性 (30 °C, n = 11) 中 1 周。对于成像大鼠被麻醉,接受 2 H-葡萄糖(1 M,1.95 g/kg)推注,并在基线时获得 DMI,随后是 20 分钟的时间间隔,最多 2 小时。此外,Dixon MRI 用于解剖确定肩胛间 BAT (iBAT) 库以及动态对比增强 (DCE) MRI 以评估灌注。结果 与热中性大鼠相比,冷驯化大鼠的 2H-葡萄糖信号更高(p ≤ 0.001),表明葡萄糖摄取和代谢总体增加。这与与热中性大鼠相比,冷驯化大鼠的 iBAT(九倍增量)中较低的脂肪/水阈值、较高的灌注和增加的 UCP1 mRNA 表达是一致的。结论 我们发现 DMI 可以区分大鼠的冷驯化和热中性 BAT。这是第一项通过 DMI 评估 BAT 活动的研究,
