Objective: This study compared the effects of obesity and pancreas fat on β-cell function, while non-invasively distinguishing between peripancreatic, interlobular, and parenchymal fat. Methods: Forty-eight participants (lean, overweight/obese, type 2 diabetes, 16 per group), underwent a frequent-sampling oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; whole-body and pancreas) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS; liver and pancreas). Pancreas fat measurements consisted of standard 2-cm3 1H-MRS, 1-cm3 1H-MRS with localization that aimed to measure parenchymal fat, and a MRI method to…
