The effect of anesthesia on the epimerization of 2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐D‐glucose(‐6‐phosphate) to 2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐D‐mannose(6‐phosphate) in mice was demonstrated with 19 F NMR spectroscopy of excised tissue specimens from heart, muscle, and brain. Spectra from each of six excised organs confirmed that pretreatment with an anesthetic suppressed the conversion ratio, FDM/(FDG + FDM), in brain at 3 h from 52 ± 5 to 30 ± 6% under the dose of 100 mg/kg. We propose potential applications for NMR monitoring of FDG‐FDM conversion, including the assessment of regional brain metabolism and the evaluation of Various pharmacologic agents. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.
