Figure 9

Composition of marrow adipose tissue (MAT). Proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the 2nd lumbar vertebra obtained with water suppression demonstrates combined olefinic protons at 5.2 and 5.3 ppm (-CH=CH-, an estimate of fatty acid unsaturated bonds) and methylene protons at 1.3 ppm [(-CH2-)n, an estimate of fatty acids saturated bonds]. Residual water (H2O) is noted at 4.7 ppm.
