MRS measurements of hepatic fat fractions were acquired
from 8 healthy males in a randomized crossover study.
Subjects attended test days before and after a 7 day
high v low glycaemic index diet. During the test visit,
subjects were scanned at baseline following an overnight
fast and again 360 minutes after a test meal. Results
showed that liver lipid levels were increased following
the high compared to low glycaemic index diet which was
sustained throughout the test day. These results may be
relevant to the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.
