| Abstract | The prevalence of obesity and its concomitant diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, is increasing worldwide. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and MRI are tools for the reliable quantification of fatty compartments and total body adipose tissue. The distribution of lipids in adipose tissue compartments and in parenchymal organs, such as the liver and musculature, has been examined in several studies in large cohorts of subjects. These studies revealed a high correlation between the volumes of these lipid compartments and metabolic dysfunction. This article describes and discusses several magnetic resonance spectroscopy and MRI techniques for in vivo application in humans, assessing their inherent advantages and drawbacks. Related results from applicationsof those magnetic resonance techniques in lifestyle intervention studies for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes are also reported. Cross-sectional gender-related differences in lipid compartments and different types of obesity are explained. Longitudinal changes in adipose tissue compartments derived from repeated magnetic resonance examinations during lifestyle interventions are explored. Some hints regarding suitable measuredquantities thatmay predict the development of insulin resistance and success or failure of lifestyle interventions are reported. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
