  Aim/objective: In this study we investigated ectopic fat storage in the muscle and the liver using 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS). The inability to store fat in adipose tissue leads to ectopic Triacylglycerol (TG) accumulation in muscle followed by the liver: the so called “overflow hypothesis”. It is assumed that when steatosis occurs in organs like the liver we can speak from “Metabolic Syndrome”. Methods: We compared the effects of two different diet interventions, 24 h-starvation and 40 days High-fat diet (+0.25% cholesterol and 45% energy from bovine lard) with control mice. Characterization of lipid molecular species in non-adipose muscle homogenate was performed by comparing the groups using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques following a Systems Biology lipidomics..
