Fig. 9.
Total lipid peak area IMCL+EMCL measured with 1H STEAM as function of time (t = 0 at onset of exercise). Lipid signals remain at a constant level in the VOI before, during, and after exercise for all except two subjects (labeled 3 and 5). The corresponding lactate absolute concentrations obtained for these two subjects are lying extremely close to the average lactate concentration, thus suggesting that the localizing double quantum filter sufficiently suppresses lipid contamination, even in these two cases.
