Glycogen metabolism plays a major role in glucose homeostasis in healthy (HEAL) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) subjects. Despite the widespread use in metabolic research of MRS to measure glycogen, there is currently scarce data on its variability in T1DM subjects. Based on non-invasive natural abundance 13C MRS the present study investigated longitudinal reproducibility of hepatic and myocellular glycogen stores in healthy (CV 12%, 16% respectively) and T1DM (CV 16%, 9% respectively) subjects following prior a diet- and activity-standardization protocol. The findings can have important implications on e.g. the design of interventional trials assessing exercise-related fuel metabolism in T1DM.
