MRI Detection of Hepatic N-Acetylcysteine Uptake in Mice

This proof-of-concept study looked at the feasibility of using a thiol–water proton exchange (i.e., CEST) MRI contrast to detect in vivo hepatic N-acetylcysteine (NAC) uptake. The feasibility of detecting NAC-induced glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis using CEST MRI was also investigated. The detectabil...
