Intervention: 1H/ 13C and 31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Description: Study participants will be studied in the fasting state after an overnight fast of at least 10 h. Participants will arrive at the MR-Centre in the morning of the study. Between 6:30 and 10:00 a.m., 1H MRI (3T) will be performed for the assessment abdominal adipose tissue distribution and composition as well as myocardial functional parameters. 1H/13C MRS examinations (7T) will be performed for measurements of myocardial, skeletal muscle and liver lipid content and composition as well as glycogen content. Additionally, ATP synthesis and energy metabolism will be assessed.

Intervention: Meal Tolerance Test
Description: A meal tolerance test meal tolerance test according to Petersen et al. (PNAS, Vol 104, 2007) will be performed. After MRI and MRS examinations subjects will be returned at our outpatients clinic, where small polyethylene catheter will be inserted in an antecubital vein for hourly blood sampling. At 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. two liquid high carbohydrate meals of equal size containing all the required daily energy (30 kcal/kg of body weight; 55% carbohydrate, 10% protein, and 35% fat) with an additional 25% of the daily energy requirements added in the form of sucrose will be served.~At 5 p.m. subjects will be returned at the MR - Centre for postprandial 1H / 13C MRS (7T) of muscle, liver and myocardial lipid and glycogen contents. Myocardial function parameters and abdominal fat distribution will be assessed again by 1H MRI (3T).

Intervention: Hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp
Description: All volunteers will be admitted in the morning and basal 13C tracer enrichment will be assessed.~At 8:00a.m. (0 min) a hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic-pancreatic clamp test will be initiated by somatostatin (-5-300 min: 0.1 µg·kg-1·min-1, UCB Pharma, Vienna, Austria) and insulin (0 - 8 min: 80 mU·min-1·m-2 body surface area; 8 -300 min: 40 mU·min-1·m-2 body surface area) infusion. Plasma glucose will be raised and maintained at \~180 mg·dL-1 by primed (0.2 g·kg-1)-variable dextrose infusion (20%w/v) enriched with \[1-13C\]glucose (40%w/w). A second catheter will be placed into an antecubital vein of the other arm and blood samples for the measurement of glucose, insulin and c-peptide. Glucose concentrations will be analysed immediately every 5 minutes, employing a glucose analyser. Myocardial glycogen concentrations will be measured before the clamp (-60 - 0 min) and from 90 min to 180 min during the clamp employing 13C MRS.
