In vivo identification of a molecular marker for brown adipose tissue in NMR spectra of large volumes

abdomen of a DIO mouse. Peaks are labeled as in ref.[2]. Fig.2 : IZQC spectrum of extract BAT (red) and WAT (blue) tissue. The methylene/water iZQC peak (P2/Water) is characteristic of the only BAT tissue. Fig. 3: Comparison of the in vivo iZQC spectra from a 8 weeks old C57 mouse (red) and a 2 years old ob/ob mouse (blue). The methylene/water peak (arrow) is considerably reduced in the obese mouse spectrum. In vivo identification of a molecular marker for brown adipose tissue in NMR spectra of large volumes
