  1. #Intrahepatic lipid was calculated by ratio of (Fat/(Fat + H2O))*100.
  2. $Intramyocellular lipid = Intramyocellular lipid/total creatine.
  3. *Dietary calorie deficits evaluated from daily food intake when compared to control.
  4. @QUICKI = 1/(log(Fasting Glucose (mg/dL)) + log(Fasting Insulin (μU/mL)).
