We studied the effects of a normal high-fat meal and subsequent exercise on the 31P MR spectrum of healthy volunteers using a proton-decoupled 31P MR spectroscopy at 3 T. We found a trend of rising ATP resonance at postprandial state suggesting that the physiological state may have an impact and should be standardized in phosphorus studies.
