The cover picture shows a whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) image acquired in a coronal plane before (grey scale) and after (colour) image segmentation to determine adipose tissue content. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is shown in green, and internal fat depots are shown in yellow. The image is overlaid with typical 1H-MR spectra obtained from the tibialis muscle. The way in which these fat depots are modulated by exercise is described in an article by Shojaee-Moradie et al. in this issue of Diabetologia (50: 404-413).
