Developing hyperpolarized metabolic contrast agents at high field dDNP for large animal research by Ditte B. Christensen, Ingeborg S. Skre, Jan Henrik Ardenkjær-Larsen, Magnus Karlsson, Mathilde H. Lerche

“…While several metabolic substrates have been investigated at lower field dDNP and tested as HMCAs in rodents, 13C-labeled pyruvate remains the most studied HMCA and is currently the only one actively used in clinical trials due to its favorable biological and physical properties. Effective human and large animal dDNP formulations require high molar substrate concentrations, low DNP sample viscosity for efficient dissolution, and adequate dilution of the DNP sample to minimize signal decay and maximize HMCA concentration.We present substrate formulations optimized for high-field polarization and large-volume dissolution. …”

Evaluation of the immunological functions of placental alkaline phosphatase in vivo using ALPP transgenic mice by Tse-Ching Chen, Kwai-Fong Ng, Ning Chen, Yi-Ling Pan, Chun-An Cheng, Hsiao-Chun Wu, Yi-Jen Hsueh, Nien-Yi Chiang, Hsi-Hsien Lin, Hsi-Hsien Lin, Hsi-Hsien Lin, Hsi-Hsien Lin

“…Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a ubiquitously expressed dephosphorylating enzyme and its level in blood is widely used as a diagnosis marker of liver damage or bone disorders in human patients. ALP is also considered as an anti-inflammatory protein due to its ability to dephosphorylate and inactivate inflammation-triggering molecules such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). …”
