Intramyocellular and Extramyocellular Lipids Are Associated With Arterial Stiffness Natsuki Hasegawa,1 Toshiyuki Kurihara,1 Koji Sato,1 Toshiyuki Homma,1 Shumpei Fujie,1 Satoshi Fujita,1 Kiyoshi Sanada,1 Takafumi Hamaoka,1 and Motoyuki Iemitsu1
METHODS A total of 237 subjects (18–81 years) were enrolled in this study. The IMCL and EMCL contents of the right vastus lateralis muscle were evaluated by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Arterial stiffness was estimated using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). RESULTS There were significant correlations between baPWV and the contents of both IMCL (R = −0.23, P
