The liver proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) is typically used
for quantifying lipid content. Previous proton MRS
studies have reported the quantifications of liver lipid
profile and liver choline in vivo. This study aimed to
examine whether dynamic proton MRS can assess the time
courses of liver choline level and lipid profile in
response to the acute lipid intake. Our preliminary
results suggested that dynamic proton MRS could measure
the changes of choline level and lipid profile in normal
rat liver with acute intravenous lipid infusion.
