Relaxograms calculated from the signal decays observed with multi\u2010spin\u2010echo acquisition provided well\u2010separated contributions of tissue water and fat. Analysis of fat composition was carried out in vivo using <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>C\u2010MR spectroscopy. Evolution of body composition in rats was assessed during drug treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: MR relaxometry for noninvasive body composition analysis in laboratory rodents was implemented on a standard MR scanner, and a throughput of &gt;30 animals per hour was achieved. Excellent linearity and reproducibility with coefficients of variance as low as 2.5% and 1.7% were obtained in mice and rats, respectively. The lean mass\u2010to\u2010water ratio (mice, 1.35 \u00b1 0.03; rats, 1.39 \u00b1 0.04) and the proton density of fat (mice, 8.1 \u00b1 0.2; rats, 8.9 \u00b1 0.2 g\/mol) were determined from cross\u2010sectional data. Fat composition analysis by <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>C\u2010MR spectroscopy corroborated these findings and yielded information on the average acyl chain length (16.3 \u00b1 1.6) and contributions of saturated (27 \u00b1 3%), monounsaturated (22 \u00b1 2%), and polyunsaturated (51 \u00b1 3%) fatty acids. Longitudinal assessments in rats treated with sibutramine and dexfenfluramine showed dose\u2010related changes in body composition.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion: T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>2<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> MR relaxometry backed by solid calibration provides a powerful means for rapid quantitative body composition analysis in awake mice and rats that is suitable for serial investigations in pharmaceutical research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2004.200","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,21]],"date-time":"2008-04-21T09:30:14Z","timestamp":1208770214000},"page":"1604-1615","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Quantitative Body Composition Analysis in Awake Mice and Rats by Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Basil","family":"K\u00fcnnecke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Verry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agn\u00e8s","family":"B\u00e9nardeau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Von Kienlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00075197-200109000-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1467-789x.2001.00031.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199622050-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/75.3.453"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00075197-200209000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"811","article-title":"Techniques for the measurement of body composition: a practical guide","volume":"17","author":"Jebb S.
