No difference (p>0.05) in the concentration of intracellular lipids in the spinal muscles of older and younger participants; a much higher concentration of creatine in older participants (p=0.23); no correlation between metabolite concentrations.
Figure 2. Individual values for the normalized concentrations of IMCLCH2 (left) and Cr (right) for the two groups together with the lower, median and upper quartiles.
Figure 1. An example of the raw spectrum together with the fitted IMCLCH2 and Cr components. The large peak at 1.5ppm is the methylene extracellular lipid (EMCLCH2)
