Skeletal muscle constitutes 40% of body mass and takes up 80% of a glucose load.
Therefore, impaired glucose removal from the circulation, such as that which occurs in …

Insulin sensitivity relates to the fatty acid composition of the skeletal muscle phos-pholipids
and the intramuscular triglyceride content. The fatty acid composition of the phospholipids …

The influence of a short‐term elevation of free fatty acids (FFAs) on intramyocellular lipids
(IMCL) under hyperinsulinemic conditions was monitored in five healthy male subjects in the …

This report provides an overview on the present knowledge on intramyocellular lipids (IMCL)
and their dynamics in the course of interventions with physical activity of variable type and …

Intramuscular triglyceride(IMTG) accounts for only a fraction of the total lipid store in the
human body. However, given its significant contribution as a substrate for ATP synthesis …

At a symposium addressing the relationships between obesity, hypertension, and
cardiovascular disease at the ASH, Roger Unger (Dallas, TX) discussed lipotoxicity and the …

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, research has focused on the molecular
mechanism (s) linking obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Metabolic alterations …

The early pioneers in the field of metabolism during exercise such as Lindhard and Krogh
understood the importance of fat as a fuel for muscle contraction. But they could not have …

Increased lipid oxidation is related to insulin resistance. Some of the enhanced lipid
utilization may be derived from intramuscular sources. We studied muscle triglyceride (mTG) …

Aim/objective: In this study we investigated ectopic fat storage in the muscle and the liver
using 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS). The inability to store fat in adipose …
