 note = {In order to explore the feasibility of a clinical 3.0 T MR system, long-term monitoring of in vivo [1-13C] glycogen storage/degradation in the liver was achieved in healthy volunteers (n=5) and diabetic patients (n=5).  The correlation between the fasting levels of plasma glucose and the increasing rate of glycogen in the liver was statistically significant (Spearman: r=-0.758, p<0.05, n=10).  This indicates that improvement in glycogen synthesizing ability may be beneficial for reducing the blood glucose level.  13C MR spectroscopy is useful for monitoring glycogen synthesis in vivo.},
