Non-alcoholic fatty liver is an increasing common liver disease in world population. Recent hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HP 13C MRS) studies revealed the cellular metabolite changes associated with the various liver diseases in animals. However, a study for high-fat diet(HFD)-induced obesity using HP 13C MRS in animal model has not yet been performed until now. The purpose of this study was to investigate the time-course metabolic changes based on HP 13C MRS in HFD-induced obesity in rats and their correlations with serum enzyme levels.
