In addition to study of fat distribution in abdominal
adipose tissues (visceral, deep and superficial
subcutaneous), there has been an increasing interest in
the investigation of fatty acid composition in these
depots because of their association with insulin
sensitivity. Studies have shown that the fatty acid
makeup of the different fat compartments vary between
each other. Weight loss intervention is known to alter
this composition in adipose tissues, with studies
showing decreased levels of monounsaturated fatty acids
after intervention. In this study, we investigated the
potential for non-invasively monitoring the changes in
the fatty acid composition of adipose tissue
triglycerides due to weight loss intervention using MRS.
