## Abstract The integrated ^13^C NMR intensity of the glycogen Cl resonance was measured in skeletal muscle (biceps femoris region) of nine rabbits under __in vivo__ conditions. Concurrent chemical determinations of glycogen content showed that the __in vivo__ signal was 1.02 Β± 0.06 the intensity o

Abstract
The accuracy of the measurement of total muscle glucose by in vivo ^13^C NMR spectroscopy was tested in five normal volunteers during a euglycemic [1β^13^C]glucose infusion. The NMR visible concentration calibrated using an external reference was compared with that calculated from plasma glucose concentration, assuming that glucose remained extracellular. The NMR measurement always provided higher values than the calculation from plasma glucose: 0.51 Β± 0.035 (mean Β± SE) versus 0.38 Β± 0.005 mmol/liter of muscle on average. This systematic difference was interpreted as reflecting the presence of muscle glucoseβ6βphospnate, coβresonating with free glucose. Thus, glucose appeared to be virtually 100% NMR visible in human skeletal muscle.
