Liver fat deposition and mitochondrial dysfunction in morbid obesity: An approach combining metabolomics with liver imaging and histology

Figure 5 Hepatic steatosis was evaluated in patients before and after surgery in liver biopsy (A, B); the decrease in hepatic fat content also could be visualized by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (C, D), where the peaks that offer more information were those at 0. 9, 1.3 and 2.2 ppm (E). Scale bar in A and B represents 100 μm (magnification × 100).
