The purpose of this investigation was to validate that in vivo measurement of skeletal muscle
attenuation (MA) with computed tomography (CT) is associated with muscle lipid content …

Objective: Muscle triglyceride can be assessed in vivo using computed tomography (CT)
and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), two techniques that are based on entirely …

Computed tomography (CT) can yield quantitative imaging data from detailed maps of linear
attenuation coefficients within tissue. The attenuation characteristics of skeletal muscle and …

Skeletal muscle contains intramyocellular lipid droplets within the cytoplasm of myocytes as
well as intermuscular adipocytes. These depots exhibit physiological and pathological …

The triglyceride content of skeletal muscle samples determined by lipid extraction correlates
with the severity of insulin-resistant glucose metabolism in muscle. To determine whether …

In animal studies, increased amounts of triglyceride associated with skeletal muscle (mTG)
correlate with reduced skeletal muscle and whole body insulin action. The aim of this study …

Background Skeletal muscle lipid is associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes and may be
altered by diet, physical activity, and weight loss. Objective We explored the utility of …

Regional differences in the content of intramyocellular lipids (IMCL), extramyocellular lipids,
and total creatine (TCr) were quantified in soleus (S), tibialis posterior (TP), and tibialis …

Although loss of muscle mass is considered a cause of diminished muscle strength with
aging, little is known regarding whether composition of aging muscle affects strength. The …

Regional fat distribution is an important determinant of insulin resistance in obesity. In the
current study, the relationship between skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, mid‐thigh muscle …
