Natural abundance 13 C MRS measurements of liver glycogen levels were acquired from 8 healthy males using a multinuclear surface coil with proton decoupling in a randomized cross over study comparing the postprandial effects of a calorie and macronutrient matched high v low glycaemic index test breakfast. The results from this study showed an immediate increase from fasted levels following both meals which began to decline from 180 minutes for the low GI meal but continued to increase for 300 minutes for the high GI meal
