Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are being
increasingly used for investigations of human muscle physiology. While MRI reveals the …

Intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) are flexible fuel stores that are depleted by physical exercise
and replenished by fat intake. IMCL or their degradation products are thought to interfere …

Magnetic resonance (MR) methods are increasingly being used to investigate the
physiology of human muscle. Although MR imaging (MRI) reveals the morphology of …

Aim of the study was to determine distribution and depletion patterns of intramyocellular
lipids (IMCL) in leg muscles before and after two types of standardized endurance exercise …

Background Muscle triglycerides are important as a source of energy and in relation to
metabolic sensitivity. However, the classic biopsy method does not distinguish intra-from …

Abstract 1H‐MR spectroscopy (MRS) of intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) became particularly
important when it was recognized that IMCL levels are related to insulin sensitivity. While …

Intra‐myocellular lipids (IMCL) are stored in droplets in the cytoplasm of muscle cells and
are an energy storage form readily accessed during long‐term exercise. 1H‐MR …

Trained subjects are characterized by enhanced levels of lipolytic and mitochondrial
enzymes, and, hence, a higher reliance on fat oxidation, especially during aerobic …

Three different methods to determine intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) contents in human
skeletal muscle have been compared. 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was …

The investigation of intramyocellular lipids (IMCLs) with proton MR spectroscopy (1H‐MRS)
in humans has recently received increasing attention. IMCL levels correlate with insulin …
