How Abnormal Function of Fat Tissue in Type 1 Diabetes Contributes to Fat in the Liver

"MRI using 1H-MRS and Dixon sequences on a 3 T clinical MRI system (Ingenia, Philips Healthcare, Best, the Netherlands) will be performed.~\[11C\]-palmitate: 1 x i.v. injection of 175 MBq followed by TEP imaging. \[18F\]-FTHA: oral administration of 75 MBq followed by TEP imaging."

"\[6,6 D2\]-glucose infusion (0.22 µmol/kg/min, preceded by a bolus of 22 µmol/kg) will start from -180 until time + 360.~\[1,1,2,3,3-2H\]-glycerol (0.05 µmol/kg/min.) and of \[7,7,8,8-2H\] palmitate (0.01 µmol/kg/min) will start from time -60 until time +360."

A liquid meal will be administered at time 0. The liquid meal (400 ml) energy breakdown is 50% (101g) from glucose, 33% (31g) from fat, and 17% (40g) from protein; participants will consume the 400 ml in 4 aliquots of 100 ml over 20 min, supplemented with 0.9 g of U-\[13C\]-glucose and 9 μmol/kg lean mass of \[U-13C\]-palmitate.
