Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) as a means to distinguish among mice with disparate intra-abdominal body fat compositions, and to measure changes in intra-abdominal fat burden during weight loss and regain. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Intra-abdominal fat burden was analyzed as a ratio of integrated areas under the curves of fat to water (1)H-MRS signals collected from a...
