Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of an oral fructose challenge on liver adenosine triphosphate (ATP) reserves using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) as a potential measure measure of liver health.
Detailed Description
This study uses 31P spectra acquired from the liver in healthy subjects following a fructose drink to monitor ATP levels. This is also related to baseline BMI, liver glycogen and liver lipid levels
