Glycogen metabolism plays a major role in glucose
homeostasis in healthy (HEAL) and type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM) subjects. Despite the widespread use in
metabolic research of MRS to measure glycogen, there is
currently scarce data on its variability in T1DM
subjects. Based on non-invasive natural abundance 13C
MRS the present study investigated longitudinal
reproducibility of hepatic and myocellular glycogen
stores in healthy (CV 12%, 16% respectively) and T1DM
(CV 16%, 9% respectively) subjects following prior a
diet- and activity-standardization protocol. The
findings can have important implications on e.g. the
design of interventional trials assessing
exercise-related fuel metabolism in T1DM.
