Liver fat content and the linked rate of export of triglyceride are central to aetiology of type 2 diabetes, as well as to the cardiovascular effects of fatty liver disease. Measurement in human of intrahepatic and intrapancreatic fat content is described using magnetic resonance techniques and quantification of the rate of hepatic secretion of very low-density lipoprotein using a non-isotopic competitive blocking of tissue uptake. This protocol is non-invasive, able to be repeated sequentially and does not involve ionizing radiation
