We analyzed in vivo hepatic fat content changes during the day under different dietary interventions (fasting, fat alone, fat + fructose, fat + glucose, and glucose alone). Single voxel 1H MR spectroscopy of the liver in ten healthy volunteers was used at 3T MR system. We demonstrated that it is possible to induce the hepatic fat content changes by appropriately chosen dietary interventions and that such changes can be detected noninvasively by 1H MR spectroscopy.
