Abstract
Acetate is a metabolic substrate of β -oxidation and precursor of amino acid and sterol.11Carbon labeled Acetate (ACE) was first used in the early 1980s for the evaluation of the myocardial oxidative metabolism. 11C-Acetate is rapidly taken up in the myocardium and subsequently metabolized to CO2 via the Krebs cycle. Therefore, kinetic analysis of accumulation and washout curves of radiola-beled acetate allows to analyze myocardial oxygen consumption and myocardial blood flow.
