Figure 3 a–c.

1H-MRS spectrum of rat no. 13 of the post-ethanol group in vivo (a) with a hepatic fat fraction (HFF) of 14.7%. The spectrum shows the dominant water peak at 4.7 ppm with a prominent lipid peak ([CH₂]n) at 1.1–1.3 ppm (I, integral; A, amplitude). Panel (b) shows enlargement of the lipid peak of rat no. 7; y-axis shows amplitude, x-axis shows the frequency of the corresponding metabolites: (CH₂)n, saturated lipids at 1.3 ppm; CH=CH₂, unsaturated lipids at 2.0 ppm; CH₃, mobile lipids at 0.6 ppm; γ - CH₂, glutamate/glutamine at 2.6 ppm. The right side of panel (a) shows the sectional plane and the positioning of the voxel in the localizer sequence and in the coronal and transverse planes. Rat no. 9 of the post-ethanol group ex vivo in panel (c) shows a HFF of 7.9% with dominant water peak and a prominent lipid peak ([CH₂]n) at 1.1–1.3 ppm. The right side of panel (c) shows the explanted liver in a 10 mL syringe plunger, including the sectional plane.
