This study focuses on absolute quantification of hepatic ³¹P metabolites at ultra-high field (7T) and the possible influence of BMI and hepatocellular content of lipids (HCL) on the calculated metabolite concentrations. Significant differences were found in γ- and α-ATP as well as in P_i content for population groups with normal and high BMI. With the assessment of HCL it is possible to correct for those differences and no significances could be reported after.
