Figure 2

Representative spectra of a control subject. The AcCtn peak, i.e. the resonance of the acetyl group of the molecule that is visible as a singlet at 2.1 ppm, documents clearly elevated tissue content 2 hours after aerobic exercise, and decreases over the following 24 hours. Spectral quality and its reproducibility is excellent, as readily documented by equal EMCL contributions (identical region of interest) and identical peak splitting for the Cr2 peak (identical muscle fiber orientation in the magnet) at all three time points. AcCtn = acetylcarnitine; IMCL = intramyocellular lipids; EMCL = extramyocellular lipids; TMA = trimethyl ammonium compounds; Cr2, Cr3 = Creatine.
