The liver proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) is typically used for quantifying lipid content. Previous proton MRS studies have reported the quantifications of liver lipid profile and liver choline in vivo. This study aimed to examine whether dynamic proton MRS can assess the time courses of liver choline level and lipid profile in response to the acute lipid intake. Our preliminary results suggested that dynamic proton MRS could measure the changes of choline level and lipid profile in normal rat liver with acute intravenous lipid infusion.
