The time courses of incorporation of 13C from 13C-labelled glucose or acetate into cerebral amino acids (glutamate, glutamine and 4-aminobutyrate) and lactate were monitored by using 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. When [1-13C]glucose was used as precursor the C-2 of 4-aminobutyrate was more highly labelled than the analogous C-4 of glutamate, whereas no label was observed in glutamine. A similar pattern was observed with [2-13C]glucose: the C-1 of 4-aminobutyrate was more highly labelled than the analogous C-5 of glutamate. Again, no labelling of glutamine was detected. In contrast, [2-13C]acetate labelled the C-4 of glutamine and the C-2 of 4-aminobutyrate more highly than the C-4 of glutamate; [1-13C]acetate also labelled the C-1 and C-5 positions of glutamine more than the analogous positions of glutamate. These results are consistent with earlier patterns reported from the use of 14C-labelled precursors that led to the concept of compartmentation of neuronal and glial metabolism and now provide the possibility of distinguishing differential effects of metabolic perturbations on the two pools simultaneously. An unexpected observation was that citrate is more highly labelled from acetate than from glucose.
