The design of an RF probe suitable for obtaining proton‐decoupled 13 C spectra from a subhuman primate brain is described. Two orthogonal saddle coils, one tuned to the resonant frequency of 13 C and the other to the resonant frequency of 1 H, were used to monitor the in vivo metabolism of [1‐ 13 C] glucose in rhesus monkey brain at 2.1 T. Difference spectra showed the appearance of 13 C‐enriched glutamate and glutamine 30 to 40 min after a bolus injection of [ 1‐ 13 C] glucose.
