โฆ Synopsis
A novel resonator for receiving 31P NMR signals at 1.5 T, which because of its topology has been named a "sectorial resonator," exhibits good radio frequency coupling to the adult human liver. Minimal contamination from nonliver tissue (i.e., muscle) was achieved by the use of depth selective pulses and also because the geometry results in cancellation of signals arising from tissues that are close to the two openings of the structure.

Inhibition of hormone-stimulated hepatic glycogenolysis by fructose (Fru) has been attributed to accumulation of the competitive inhibitor Fru1P and/or to the associated depletion of the substrate phosphate (P i ). To evaluate the relative importance of either factor, we used the Fru analogue 2,5-an
