Background: Acetylcarnitine (AC) is involved in intramyocellular fuel metabolism during exercise. So far, little is known on exercise-associated myocellular AC levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. In particular, it is unknown whether AC levels differ according to glucose values in diabetic patients. 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the skeletal muscle allows for the non-invasive assessment of acetylcarnitine (AC) accumulation. The present study assess...
