Synopsis
Our MRS and MRI study investigates the liver response to two days of fasting followed by two days of isocaloric high carbohydrate refeeding in lean and obese women. Hepatic fat content increased after fasting in lean women whereas it did not change in obese women. The tendency to lose or accumulate fat during fasting could be related to the overall initial hepatic fat content. Moreover, liver volume significantly decreased and increased during fasting and refeeding, respectively.
