In vivo NMR has focused on using 31 P and 1 H to study metabolism in humans. Comparable 31 C NMR studies have not been undertaken, presumably, because of its insensitivity. We report herein that the natural abundance 13 C signal from C 1 glycogen is observable. The ability to observe the signal opens new opportunities to noninvasively study glycogen metabolism in man. © 1987 Academic Press, Inc.
