The ability to measure adipose hypertrophy
in
vivo
is
relevant to better understand the pathophysiology
involved in type 2 diabetes. Traditionally, adipose
tissue hypertrophy has been assessed directly by
histological examination of adipose tissue explants
which is invasive and inconvenient to carry out in large
cohort studies. The current work investigates the use of
adipose tissue hydration, as measured using
1
H
MRS based hydrolipidic ratio, as a noninvasive marker of
adipose tissue hypertrophy, and its association with
serum metabolic parameters, insulin sensitivity, BMI,
adipose depot volumes and ectopic fat infiltration in
liver and skeletal muscle.
